[Rhodes22-list] Tired of IMF

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Charlie,
Yes, you are the only person on this planet that has  problems with your 
IMF. Where are you located? Perhaps a knowledgeable Rhodie  would be willing 
to help figure out your problem? It could be a  physical/mechanical problem 
or something as simple as a lack of understanding as  to how it actually 
works.
Rest assured you will get many people with standard sails wishing to trade  
with you. DO NOT DO IT. Stan has a new IMF sail design which is 
manufactured by  Doyle that adds a batten to the sail and a little more sail cloth. 
It's a  wonderful upgrade.
One last question? Why did it take you fifteen years to find this forum to  
fix your problem?

Apparently I am the only one in the world that has trouble with  the IMF 
.... I have FOUGHT this thing for 15 years ,.... the sail jambs when  coming 
out, it takes all of my 235 pounds to pull it in, I have taken the mast  
apart two or three times trying to understand and get it to work ....  currently 
the edge of the sail has been worn by the mast and has torn along  the seam 
.... I am apparently pretty stupid for not knowing how to use this,  but it 
seems to me that sooner or later one decides to stop banging  your  head 
against the wall just to see if the headache stops.... I wopuld be glad  to 
listen to advise on how to make this work, but I am at the point that part  of 
my problem is the duct tape holding the sail together, I HAVE to replace  
the sail, and I can't see paying $800 for a new sail that is going to keep  
giving me headaches.....
