[Rhodes22-list] IMF

[Charles Nieman]

Let me see if I can do this, everyone, please feel free to
amplify or edit. I don’t think I have ever seen a step by step and I am going
by memory.

After the mast is down;

1.     
Remove the pop-top car from the mast

2.     
Remove the boom attachment from the furling
assembly. This should involve a couple screws, plus pulling the furling line
out of the boom and the out haul from the boom and main sail.

3.     
Slide the furling tube and main out of the mast
(best to have two sets of hands as the tube gets pretty long and heavy if you
try to hold from one end)

4.     
Remove the bottom bearing and the bottom donut
from the furling tube.

5.     
Remove the furling line from the furling tube
(this is usually attached by inserting through a hole in the tube and a knot
tied on the inside of the tube).

6.     
Remove the remaining bottom donut (the donut at
the top of the furling tube should not need to be removed).

7.     
Unroll the main sail.

8.     
 Some main
sails are attached to the furling tube vie a groove in the furling tube and
others have a sleeve in the luff of the sail and then attached with a screw at
the head and tack. It should be pretty obvious which you have and how to remove
the sail.

9.     
To install new main sail, do these steps in reverse.
A special note; don’t forget to reinstall the pop top car (in the correct
orientation) prior to raising the mast. This is easy to forget, don’t ask me
how I know. Charles98 Rhodes 22         /)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
