[Rhodes22-list] Beating

[Llewshirl at aol.com]

I'm afraid I don't know many particulars about the mast other than it's made 
of aluminum, has a hinge bolt with a slotted stainless steel step which allows 
the bottom of the mast to raise and lower slightly as it is being righted.  I 
assume the rigging is standard with upper shrouds, two lowers on each side 
and a double rear stay that you adjust with the blocks between them. 
I'm not sure whether the genny is 175% or 150%.  The boat came with an extra 
genny which I've never flown, but it is of lighter weight material.  With the 
roller furling, I have no idea how one would change the genny without taking 
the mast down. I have never examined it closely, but it is possible that the 
other one is meant to fly loosly at the luff and use a spare halyard to raise 
it.  I really don't know.
Any comments will be appreciated.
