[Rhodes22-list] older rhodes jib furler

[Mary Lou Troy]

There was a similar hole on our newer style GB furler. It was used to 
secure the furler drum to the mast for raising and lowering. There 
was a bracket on the mast and you lined up the holes on the bracket 
and the hole on the furler drum and inserted a fastpin. This held the 
furler and jib in place against the mast for raising and lowering. 
Very handy. Not an option with the Schaeffer SnapFurl furler we now use.
