[Rhodes22-list] short inhaul line?

[ASNOOCH at aol.com]

As I replied early last night to your question ... the manner in which you  
furled your genny determines the amount of line on the drum, and the amount of  
line on the drum determines the next number of rotations of that drum.  
Increasing the length of the line will not solve this problem, efficient furling  
practice should solve this problem. I attempt to make sure a small amount of  
tension via wind or sheet pressure is present.

I'm skeptical that your line shrunk a couple of feet.  It  shouldn't be any
harder on the genny then nucleating the sheets and furling  line and manually
turning the drum.  Not sure about the main, but I  doubt you need to replace
the line, unless it's  damaged.

maybe  I just need to go super tight furl on the jib.
I did have a knot in the end  of the rope.
what about the Main inhaul?
