Thanks!!

We tried taking up on the halyard some more and lower the boom by loosening the topping lift as well as tightening the boom vang.... nothing seemed to work. I left to come home to check on the posting and couldn't find it. When I got back my son had "worked it out" but the specifics were vague.

> Fred, I don't know about the previous posting that you mentioned, but, first I would make sure the main is pulled all the way to the top.  Stretch it tight.  Then, when furling, I handle all three lines, the outhaul and the two black continuous lines, keeping tension on all three.  It seems to work for us.  Once we had trouble pulling the main back out, it had been furled loosely.  Again, it needs tension on the line.
