The main slides out the bottom of the mast once the mast is lowered. You will pull it tight at the top and then install the keeper screw. Not difficult and certainly easily done by a novice Rhodies. If you do run into problems, be sure to take pictures to ask the list for help. Rummy In a message dated 3/2/2011 8:51:10 P.M.

I have noticed that my main sail tends to bunch up when it is fully retracted into the mast and it appears that I need to raise the main a bit. Having only lowered the mast a couple of times I am not familiar with exactly how the main sail is set inside the mast. Is there some easy adjustment to raise the main a bit inside the mast so it doesn't bunch up? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Main-Sail-Adjustment-tp31055569p31055569.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.See the original archive post
