[Rhodes22-list] Hey Roger - The Barber-Hauler - An Alternative To Inboard GenoaTracks

[ed kroposki]

Roger, 
	Do you have a copy of this book?  Are the other hundred or so
readers of this list supposed to go out and buy this book?
	I am sorry, but we have become addicted to your excellent
instructions.  So now that your have all these high power academic degrees
you are going to just give us the references.  Humpf, you have become a
college professor (like that one you told us about).  
	Your analysis and discussion is much better than anyone book's
author because it succinctly relates it to our boats.  At least give us a
summary if not one of your technical drawings.
	Ed K

GenoaTracks

Hi Everybody,

For those of you that are thinking about installing inboard genoa tracks on
your boat &/or wondering about the correct way to use them, please go to the
library and read the following reference:

Rick Grajirena, "The Barber-Hauler, Ins and Out of A Genoa Sheeting Device",
in , "More SAIL Trim", (SAIL Books, Boston, MA, 1979), Charles Mason,
editor, ISBN 0-914814-18-4, pp. 20-23

The author of this short article, Rick Grajirena, discusses the design & use
of a simple block & tackle device called a "barber-hauler" that effectively
does away with need for movable genoa cars, rerouting genoa sheets inboard &
outboard of the shrouds, & switching from inboard to outboard genoa tracks.
Mr. Grajirena certainly has the sailing credentials to recommend the
barber-hauler.  He has been manager of Hood Sailmakers, coached the US
Olymipic 470 sailing team, & has won multiple US & international
championships in various classes of sailing dingys

For most of you, using a barber-hauler might be a much simpler way of life
than having to fool with rerouting sheets, switching genoa tracks, etc.
