[Rhodes22-list] IMF sail wrap

[Mark Whipple]

Thanks to everyone who responded. Given several factors including: the
experience of most who responded, the way the track is positioned on the
furling tube, and my memory of easier furling on a port tack, I'll be
winding the sail counter-clockwise as viewed from the bottom of the mast,
or wrapping to the left/port as viewed from behind the mast.

Thanks again,

Mark
