I found it. I hadn't specifically searched in the postings of the discussion
lists.

Thanks!!

wrinkle, it was very difficult to correct the problem. 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.

have not yet had that problem.
