[Rhodes22-list] Furling line tensioner

[Mike Riter]

Hi Jeff.
I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I'm not marketing any products. I
needed a better mousetrap for my furling line and worked with a friend of
mine who is an engineer and machinist to come up with the item I showed
everyone on the forum. I've had the prototype on the boat for a year now
and it continues to work very well. The only thing I didn't like is having
to loosen the tensioner to thread the line through it when I rigged. But it
turned out to not be such a big deal after I marked the spot to re-tension
after I set up the boat.

I think he would be happy to make another one for anyone who wants one, but
this isn't something we're doing for profit. I'm just another Rhodie with
an overactive imagination.
