[Rhodes22-list] Genoa sheets pic 3

[Rik Sandberg]

Joe,

Yes, the short knotted piece is separate and is stitched to the center of
the two sheets, then whipped.

This way of attaching the sheets is essentially the same as the way it is
done on my boat now, except that instead of passing the small knotted end
through the loop in the middle of the sheets, I pull both working ends of
the sheets through the loop. No "knots" required. Not nearly as easy to
change head sails though. This hasn't mattered to me up till now, since I
have only had a 175 and never changed. But, if I add that UPS sail, easily
changing the sheets could become an issue.

By the way, my sheets (both) are blue.

Rik
