[Rhodes22-list] re move mainsail

[Stephen Staum]

Chris,

If you have the mast raising system, the lowering & raising is a piece  
of cake. Otherwise, you need 2 or 3 stout lads and care must be taken  
to not lose the mast sideways as you step up onto the cabin top.

I have to pull my main which is original & tore last season. I am  
concerned as to why your almost new sail needs work.
