[Rhodes22-list] in mast furler advice appreciated

[hankstein at aol.com]

I finally launched my new to me 1993 R-22.
I could not get the main to roller furl back into the mast.  purposely took the boat out on a fairly light day to test things out -  I always single hand so it was a problem...  seemed jammed to me -  finally got the sail to furl when I was almost back to the ramp up the Huron River here in Ohio.  (yikes) 
I suspect that perhaps I rolled the sail out too fast and maybe the furling line was "cattywompus" inside the mast .. (I did not keep tension on the furling line)  bunched up maybe ?  or maybe the rig is not tuned well (it wasn't) since I always did fear that ANY mast bend might jam the in mast furler.   I am not sure what I did wrong..  This winter I intend to remove the sail for some sail work so will have an opportunity to check the furling unit.
Any suggestions on what to do is very appreciated.This would be both scary and disastrous if I needed to furl in an approaching storm.
thanks..   Hank      Muireann  1993  R-22       Huron, Ohio
