[Rhodes22-list] Genoa question

[Robert Dilk]

130%, 150%, 175%
On my Rhodes 22 the clue of the Genoa reaches to the end of the coach roof.
Can any one compare this to known Genoas and estimate the size of my Headsail?

thanks

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...)
