[Rhodes22-list] in mast furler removing mainsail

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Hank,
Somewhere deep in the archives is a post or series of posts I made with 
a lot of photos showing how we replaced our mainsail sometime back 
around 2010. I tried searching for it but the Google search function 
doesn't seem to turn it up anymore.

The short answer to your question is Yes.

I'll try attaching some of those photos here.

I understand how you can slide the entire furling mechanism through the bottom of the mast to replace the furling line.   Does the entire furling "rod" slide out the bottom and then allows the mainsl to be removed from the furling rod ?   It would be nice to know what to expect and if there are any helpful hints.  I have a tear near the clew which I would like to repair but will need the sail off the boat to do this.
