[Rhodes22-list] Removing the 175 genoa for the winter

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

It sounds like the CDI furler, although mine has a grey plastic foil. One person can do it it there is not too much wind, but it is much easier with a second person to roll and control the sail. Given that this is your first time it would be wise to have a second person both as eyes and hands.
