[Rhodes22-list] Sail repair

[Mary Lou Troy]

Interestingly, we don't get as smooth a furl as we did with Stan's 
nearly bulletproof system.

but we can change sails. Everything's a compromise and the Schaeffer 
SnapFurl does work well if you make sure that everything is adjusted 
properly. It's just not as simple as it was with the GBI furler.
