[Rhodes22-list] Furling line tensioner

[Jesse Shumaker]

Mike, the tensioner is a great idea.  I suspect many of us might be
interested if your friend would be up for doing a bulk run of those.  Would
just need to know what the cost would be (I'm guessing that would depend on
the volume).  What size line do you use for the furler?
