[Rhodes22-list] A couple of questions

[Mark Kaynor]

Steve,

I dropped the mast and removed the furling roller from the bottom of the
mast to remove my main. I also just upgraded to the "new" boom slide
assembly this spring - it's a custom assembly, only available from General
Boats - mine cost $200.
