[Rhodes22-list] Seaward 26

[Michael Meltzer]

Beats me if I right or wrong, I have two reef points spec, the upper on on single line reefing lead back to the cockpit and the
lower one controled by the current mast system, The idea was in a strong blow I did not want to play around(or that I screed up the
lowwer :-). Also made the spec simple, FA knows about how to set that up, using both with single reffing seemed like trouble.

Those also ordering the 26. Have come up with some tech questions from what i saw Friday and Saturday.

Reefing points.... As i saw it there was only one, seems like this doesn't quite cut it. Should a second be added in? Also, noticed
there is no opening mid sail to put sail ties on and keep the bundle together. Just the reefing line and forward reefing point that
attaches at the boom.  And the biggie, the reefing line looks like it is to be cleated off at the boom by the mast. Should the lines
not be run aft into the cockpit to enable single handing? I guess we were looking in to try to figure out a system and have
everything run back to the cockpit for easy control and was wondering if anyone else was planning something similar.

Winches... The halyard winch seemed a bit difficult to work with winching up the sail and hanging on to the working end of the line,
self tailing needed?
