[Rhodes22-list] Mighty Quiet

[Wally Buck]

Good idea, I may try the loop. I have the standard set up and my clam cleat 
doesn't hold the line. I use a qucik half hitch but it is a pain. I adjust 
my traveler all the time and it really helps.

I am going to add a boom vang this year. I haven't figured out the details 
but I think a fairly standard dinghy vang would work fine on the small main.

They are calling for rain this weekend ......
