[Rhodes22-list] IMF issues or new mainsail?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ted,
 Check out archives May  12 ,2013 IMF sticking. If  Stans list doesn't
cure it, you might be looking at new sails.
  Good luck,

Hey folks, I hope everyone is ready for spring! I'm not sure if you'll

> following your advice to the T. I ensure that I'm on a port tack with the
> boom slightly to starboard and the boom slightly lower when I furl the
> sail. The sail has no issues furling, but pulling it out is a different

> pulling the out haul. This requires me to go forward and give the sail a

> the lower part of the mast.
