Wally / David:  Proof that the more brains on a topic the better we do.  I 
had that exact problem on my boat last spring.  The extra halyard wrapped 
itself on the furling swivel and kept it from unfurling.

>>Hello all, my name is David Dallas.  I have been a lurker on this site
>>for some months now.  I purchased a 2001 Rhodes privately with Stan's
>>help last summer and just picked it up a couple of weeks ago.  It was a
>>demo boat.  The original owner sold as he was not getting any use out of
>>it.  It has most of the toys; IMF, UPP, CDI genoa furler, life rails,
>>marine head with pump, captains chairs, etc., etc.  It is in great
>>shape, I am just dealing with three years of neglect issues, and
>>figuring out how everything works.  I have done some dinghy sailing, but
>>this is my first experience with a 'bigger' boat.  I live in Calgary,
>>Alberta Canada and sail out of Ghost Lake, a reservoir near here.  I
>>will also be trailering to British Columbia (where I am originally from)
>>and sailing on Kootenay Lake and Okanogan and Shushwap Lakes on
>>vacation, etc..  We just got the boat in the water last weekend and had
>>our inaugural sail; it was wonderful!  We received many compliments and
>>questions; the Rhodes is not well known in landlocked western Canada.  I
>>love this boat, although the learning curve is steep for me.  Going
>>through this list and the FAQ on the Rhodes22.org site has been a great
>>help.   I have also enjoyed reading about some of your experiences and
>>adventures with your Rhodes.  Thank-you to all the veterans of this list
>>who have made time to share their knowledge and experience with others.
>>I will have lots of questions; hopefully I can start answering one or
>>two as I gain experience.
>>
>>
>>
>>Two questions right of the top are:
>>
>>
>>
>>1./  I have the CDI FF2 furler.  During my sail, I was unable to let out
>>more than approx 2/3 to ¾ of the Genoa.  There was resistance and the
>>furling drum would not turn.  I did not force it as per Stan's
>>instructions and those noted in the CDI manual.  I had a look and didn't
>>notice anything obvious.  As I am new to this, it could be very obvious
>>to someone with a little experience.  If anyone would care to comment or
>>suggest something, it would be greatly appreciated.
>>
>>
>>
>>2./  My boat came with the Kenyon Express 23000 stove.  I read somewhere
>>(can't remember where) there was a recall on these?  Does anyone know
>>about this?  If I need/want to change stoves what are your
>>recommendations?
>>
>>
>>
>>Thank-you for your time.
