[Rhodes22-list] Hunting at anchor

[Michael Meltzer]

You need a anchor riding sail, on IMF a little of the main helps, but the main will take abuse from that, butcase it only happens in
"higher" wind and it might flog.

I have a design I alway ment to build for the boat using heavy canvas that would cure it, basicly a 4 point attachment system that
looks like a traiangle wedge,
The base is connected to the boom, the high part in the center of the back stays(i.e. the tentioner rope) and the two lower parts to
the backstay.

PS. I think you" mean riding at anchor"
