[Rhodes22-list] Gelcoat Repair/ New Headsail furling system

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I would like to see the furler system as well although I don't understand
the point that the new furler allows for " headsail changes without dropping
the mast". I have never seen one that did. 
What am I misunderstanding? Pictures and details welcome.

We're thinking of updating our furler. Can you send me or post photos of the
new furling system? And what does it cost?

I'm at larrywallen at verizon.net

Hi Ric

I can confirm the new system is designed to allow changing the headsail
without dropping the mast.

Having never seen the system in operation, I just unpacked the box to take a
look at the parts. It does not look like there is a luff groove in the
setup. I am thinking once the headsail is hauled up the forestay, one or two
turns on the furling system will provide a positive attachment along the
leech.  But what do I know?

Maybe Ted has this installed and can offer additional info?
