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

[Wally Buck]

Bob,

I learned this the first time I used my spinnaker. :-) I had flown 
spinnakers before but I had never had a boat with a furler. It has only 
happened that one time.

>>Regarding furler problem. You mention you have UPP; was this a typo for 
>>UPS? If so I am guessing you have a second halyard for UPS (sail). Look up 
>>when you try to furl and see if the UPS halyard is wrapping around head 
>>sail. Just a thought .....

>>>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.
