Chet,
That's insane. It simply is not functioning the way it was meant to work.  
Something is wrong with it. Without pictures it's hard to tell. It is usually  
something easily fixed.

I am  looking at a 1983 Rhodes with IMF, and the owner says it takes two 
people  to pull the sail out...one person standing up at the mast pulling 
the sail  out, and one person pulling from the line and the outhaul.

Do others  have this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?

Thanks in advance for  your  help,

chet
