[Rhodes22-list] Removing the 175 genoa for the winter

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I recently purchased a boat from another list member and was told that he
had left the genoa on the boat during the winter so was planning to do the
same.  Is there a reason why the genoa should be stored off the boat?

I'm going to close up my boat for the winter on Tuesday and plan to remove
the 175 genoa and store it off the boat. Stan sent 2 halyard lines to use to
help remove the sail and I think I understand how to do this. My question is
will I be able to do this by myself? I know I have to open the sail all the
way up, attach the halyard lines to the lines cleated at the bottom of the
sail, and then pull the luff down through the slot in the plastic furling
tube. Any suggestions on how to handle all that sail by myself? Maybe roll
the sail from the clew in order to handle it all. Anyone else done this
alone? 

Thanks.
