Charlie, What brand is your main sail???? Rummy In a message dated 7/8/2010 8:54:19 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, blue66corvette at hotmail.com writes: It's becoming clearer to me now ...... Thanks to all for the GREAT input and convincing that I should try one more time to get this thing to work .... I called Stan this morning to get new bearings etc...talked with him about replacing the sail (cause part of the problem is the duct tape holding the sail together, and I already knew that); when I pointed out to Stan that my furling tube did not have a groove for the sail to attach to but used a system of a sleeve in the luff of the sail to slide the tube into, Stan responded that I would have to get a new tube because all of the bearings etc are designed to attach to the newer tubes with the groove for the sail rope to feed into ...... frieght from NC to Dallas is going to be the real problem ...... But at least I am begining to really understand what my problem is .... CharlieSee the original archive post
