[Rhodes22-list] How to: A Trouble-free Furling Main | Sail Magazine

[Peter Nyberg]

Jesse,

I don’t mind the questions.

The short and incomplete answer is that all the hardware came from Defender.  Details will have to wait until I’m home again.  Probably Wednesday.

I’m at anchor again in Three Mile Harbor, LI, NY.  That wasn’t the plan, but that’s the way the wind blew.

—Peter
