[Rhodes22-list] Main sail furling

[Ron Singerman]

Caesar,

There is no way that I can get the sail in that far.  When it stops it stops 
with a clunk as if it is at the end of the ability of the furler to turn. 
I'll be in Edenton at the end of Sept to have some other things taken care 
of and I'll have Stan take a look at the main sail furling at that time. I 
would love my sail to go in as far as yours .   Thanks for the advice.

Hi Ron,

I also have the vertical battens main sail, and the sail furls in up to the 
battens. Mine began sticking at the same point as yours. A closer look 
revealed that the sun-cover stitching at the end would catch at the edge of 
the groove in the mast, and prevent the sail from furling in completely.

I applied sail tape over that area, creating a smooth surface over both 
sides of the sail, and that solved the problem. Now my sail no longer sticks 
up on the UV stitching, but now folds all the way up to the vertical batten.

Hope this helps.

Rummy,

This is a picture of the situation. No matter how I try I can't get the 
bottom part of the sail to match the top part that is entirely within the 
mast. You'll notice as you go up the sacrificial part of the sail, the 
stitching disappears into the mast.
