[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes22-list Digest, Vol 3237, Issue 1

Sun Jul 14 14:18:53 EDT 2013

To keep the jib furling line from riding up above the drum go to a hardware store and buy a half circle steel ring and a hose clamp. Clamp the half ring to the bow pulpit close to the deck below the top flange of the drum. Run the line through the ring and then back through its regular leads. The lower angle will keep it on the drum. Also you cannot have such a thick line that it makes the drum too full.

> I use autohelm on a 22 footer. Simple answer. Autohelm is not the answer for this. Use your $450  to fix the sail or get a new one made and get a tiller lock device. Autohelm on a small boat works best to hold you on a good course while cruising. Just my opinion from 16 years using autohelm and tiller lock.
