[Rhodes22-list] Main sits low

[Ronald Lipton]

Does it wobble to and fro?
Can you tie in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
...

The main is screwed into a pair of holes in the furling tube.
It sounds like your main has slipped or streached. The best
thing to do is take the mast down, pull the tue out and
take a look.  It is not too difficult, took about two hours for me
last summer.
