Tom what about that UPS sail? Re: [Rhodes22-list] Baltimore thank-yous to...

[Richard F Sheehan]

Rik;

You might find it very expensive having your genoa recut.  Perhaps you'd
be better off checking the price of a 130% lapper against the costs of
recutting.   

It is quite possible that a fresh water Rhodie may want to buy your big
genoa, and you could use the proceeds to finance part of the UPS.

The UPS looks interesting, but I'm going to compare its price with that
of a cruising spinnaker.  

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Dick
