[Rhodes22-list] Outhaul car binding

[Shawn Boles]

Hi:

Into the wind. Raise boom slightly above horizontal with topping lift.
Position boom slightly to the starboard of the mast. Unfurl. Loosen topping
lift.



Cheers,
Shawn

I have started having some trouble unfurling the main, even in very light
wind conditions.

A little investigation leads me to think the outhaul car is binding. It
seems to bite down a little as it is pulled to stern.

I ran a rag through the slot in the boom a few times in an attempt to clean
it. There was not a lot there, and it did not seem to make a lot of
difference.

Is this something that others regularly lubricate? If so, just a silicon
spray, or some other lubricant?

Other possible causes?


Thanks all,


Tom
