[Rhodes22-list] IMF safety modification

[Rhodes22]

While my first R22 was an 86 and my current a 2010, there could be changes that I am not aware of.  Looking at your photo I see two things that I would question.  First the size of the furling line looks much larger that what I have/had. And secondly where the line(s) are cleated.  On both of ours the furling and unfurling lines are either on the boom or inside the boom.  It looks like (can't tell for sure) the furling line is cleated to the mast? Am I correct?  There should be a couple of cleats mounted on the boom.  One line is mounted on the boom to unfurl the main and the other to furl the main.  Unfortunately our boat is pulled for hurricane season and I cannot take any photos.  

As to the size of the line that appears to be the unfurling  line is at least two sizes too big which may be one of the reasons you are having furling and unfurling issues.  There may be a message or two in the archives that has photos for you to review.  

Just a suggestion, Bob. R22 "NoKaOi 3". Stuart, Florida
