Mary,

      Great information, but I still would like the measurements of a
working UPS and asymmetrical spinnaker for a Rhodes22 with an IMF. 

 

      I like Tom's reasoning for using an UPS.  The ability to tack is
very attractive.  With a spinnaker, for me, changing sail direction is a
major project.  And my Admiral leaves changing sails and sail
adjustments to me.

      However, I might use the ups with a chute rather than rope luff.
And if I saw a lightweight sail with appropriate measurements for sale
on the used market, I might get it to try if first.  The next time that
I have my mast down, I will probably put on a restrainer like Tom's.  I
figure with Tom's restrainer and deck mount that you can also fly a
storm jib.    

 

Tom's Restrainer
