[Rhodes22-list] mainsail problems

[stan]

Graham P.,  For us both to be fair to all those who have, it is time to 
join the Coop.

PS:  I see this is going to the List so I will add that for  anyone 
liking anything historical about the Rhodes, I am doing a piece on Inner 
mast furling that goes back to the Phil Rhodes years; it has a chuckle 
or two but its interesting part, at least for me, is discovering this 
industry's business plans mentality re this innovation.

Apropos of the current thread on IMF, the problem is in the name, not 
the product.  We will cover that as well. My problem is time to get to 
all this.  The new ROC site for parts is doing well but I am having 
trouble remembering where I keep all those parts.   Still looking for 
partnering but think I will shift the emphasis to Female partnering.  
The deal gets squashed with male wannabes when they figure in the cost 
of the divorce.
