[Rhodes22-list] Fw: Jibbing

[David Walker]

Roger,

I don't understand your concern for this setup as I believe it is the
standard rig for the Rhodes22 from the factory (except I don't lead my line
over the rail.).  My rig runs the the line from a single block with a becket
attached to the BS, across to a single block on the other BS, back to the
first and then down parallel to the backstay to a cleat on the starboard
transom.  Are you concerned that this gives a asymetric loading?
