[Rhodes22-list] slipping furling drum

[PBR]

Jim,
I've attached a photo of how my 89 was rigged when I bought it.  I took
this pic. so I could remember how to put it back together after sending the
sail our for cleaning.  There is a single knot at the end inside the drum.
This might help if yours is similar.
