[Rhodes22-list] Mainsail

[Ronald Lipton]

I have been thinking along those lines as well, But I probably won't do 
it all at once.
UPS this year then perhaps going to a 130-150 with CDI furler next 
season. There is
nothing worse than being out there with just a wisp, and enough chop to 
spill any
air out. (Well maybe I can think of worse things...)
