  I have the IMF,but on my last sailboat,A Com-Pac-16,The roller boom
  furling made the aft end of the boom alot lower than the gooseneck end
  because of the difference in lenght of the luff and the leech.Is it the
  same on the Rhodes,or is there something to compensate for this?

   I have boom furling on my '79 model.  It's always been easy to use,
