[Rhodes22-list] New Owner Questions ...

hang the 100% jib, leave outside, lower the main. watch out, the sails are stiffer than a stanard rhodes22, be ready to reef sonner
and luff up untill you learn to sail better.

the Autopilot uses a built in compass, "point and shoot mode", a GPS does not react fast enought to streat by, it use is marco
cource correction, forgetabout it for now.

I have a couple of questions for the board...

Question #1:  While sailing this past weekend in relatively high winds 15-20
knots, I wasn't sure where the Jib lines should be routed... Should the Jib
Lines be routed outside or inside the shrouds?  Or when should the Jib Sheet
Lines be routed inside vs. outside the shrouds?


Question #2:  Is a GPS required to use an Autopilot?  If not, how does the
Autopilot maintain a specific course?

Love the Rhodes 22!
