[Rhodes22-list] Lew's extra sail

[Kroposki]

Lew, 
	Your extra sail could be a spinnaker.  Do you have a place on
the bow pulpit that it could attach to?  If yes it can be flown from
there if you have an extra halyard.  You don't need a spinnaker pole to
fly a spinnaker.  

	Most of the extra banter posts on the list is just the northern
Rhodies frustrated at us southerners still sailing.  And Michael has
three daughters to deal with.  Please excuse them.

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.
Lew
