[Rhodes22-list] GB furling system

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Not having a boat yet (pickup in Edenton is scheduled for Apr 21st), I’m forced to using my imagination to picture how this operation works if you’re without a willing mate. Doesn’t pulling out the genoa require two hands? How can you also keep tension on the furling line at the same time?

Thanks from the newbie
