John,
I believe, based on the photo, that over priced yuppie crap is motorized. A 
 very nice feature I would love to see on the R22 some day in the future 
for the  IMF. Stan, are you listening?????

Rb,

You can furl the main on a Rhodes using the existing  boom. I have been
doing so for 5 yrs now. That over priced yuppie crap is  not necessary. If
the standard mast and boom doesn't have the necessary  hardware (my 71 did)
Here's the link to Dwyer (who provided the original  mast and boom).

You can see picts of boom furling in the post on Ballast report : picts  of
2nd reef position in 8-12 mph winds (with gusts in the mid  teens)
