[Rhodes22-list] jib furling line

Sun Jul 14 21:27:31 EDT 2013

I understand the concept of your reply but I'm not sure I know what a half
steel ring is.Can you explain that a little more. The replacement line is
the same diameter of the old one.  Thanks

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.

furling the headsail. I have replaced the block on the bow and replaced the
furling line. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas. I had the
boat about 16 years and this problem is new.

> 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.
