[Rhodes22-list] Planjammers (?)-Special Request

[Jay Friedland]

Wally-
That's starting to make more sense than the direction I was planning 
with three lines. I believe Roger was directing me towards this 
solution. (Roger, lost your original e-mail. Sorry.)

There are several benefits now that I've looked at the alternatives. 
Most important, it frees up a block and cleat from the current line 
where I would need to add the furling line and halyard for the UPS. 
Also, there's less going on on the front of the mast to interfere. In 
addition, the adjustments are now made from the tiller position which 
is easier than the cabin top.

Any idea of the cable length? Does 20 feet sound right with the 
additional being taken up with block and line? What type of cleat  do 
you have? What happens to the excess line?

I'm a bit hard-headed on this since Roger's suggestion, but its 
starting to simplify things.
Thanks,
J
