[Rhodes22-list] General Boats jib rollerfurler

[peter beckerman]

Hi All,    At the end of last season I had a somewhat chaotic time getting my boat out of the lake and into storage for the winter.  Several sailing friends helped me out, none of us with any experience with a Rhodes 22.  One of the tasks that I needed to complete was removing the sails from the furlers.  I concentrated on the mainsail, while others removed the Genoa.  In preparation for putting the boat in this year I spent some time the other morning putting the sails back on the furlers.  I understood the mounting system to involve sliding the furler tube into the pocket on the luff of the sail until the grommets line up to screw holes at the head and foot.  Screws are run through the grommet and tightened to the furling tube and Bob's your Uncle.This is exactly how my mainsail installed, but when I got to the Genoa, there was only a screw at the head of the sail.  I could not find one (or evidence of one) at the foot.  Is this correct?  Am I missing something?  Is there a system for keeping the luff taught?  Any insights will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,   Peter
