[Rhodes22-list] Hello Again!, I have my Rhodes! Questions

[Hank]

Bob,

I think you are backwards.  As the sail unfurls, the line will furl on
the roller.  As long as he has not ran out of the control line, this
is not an issue for unfurling.  Now, if you could not furl the sail
all the way in, I would say that not enough line was wound on the
drum.
