[Rhodes22-list] How to: A Trouble-free Furling Main | Sail Magazine

[Jesse Shumaker]

Hi Peter, there's no rush on the info since most of the projects I have in
mind won't begin until October.  I'm making the most of the precious summer
months for sailing.  Meanwhile, I'm collecting parts/supplies so I have
everything I need to start the projects once my boat is out for the
season.  I did some searching on Defender and think I located some of the
parts, but it wouldn't hurt to confirm if you have the details
available when you return.  I hope you're having a great cruise!
