[Rhodes22-list] mainsail problems

[Lowe, Rob]

Yes, make note of the wrap direction and the number of turns that the furling line makes on the drum.  I'm glad I took photos of mine when I replaced my main this year. - rob

straight mast is best, last year working with Charles on show boats we found one of the end bushing screw backed out and was hanging up inside sail area of mast, note rotation of line and sail and # of wraps around shaft the line makes   Mark

The mast is coming down soon and I will report back with what is discovered!
I did wonder if I may have overtightened the rear stay causing or making
worse the problem?
That would perhaps explain the worsening of the problem this season!
