[Rhodes22-list] Fred-Genoa tacking in light winds

[ed kroposki]

Fred:
Give this a try in tacking the 175 in light winds.  If single handed bring
boat around, use tiller locks to set tiller direction, then one hand on new
genoa sheet and one on furling line.  As pressure slacks bring Genoa in to
clear forward stays and as wind catches sail let out Genoa.  Sheets should
not be touching deck.  This system works even better double handed.

Rummy,

Maybe it actually happens in light winds when the genny sags a lot when 
tacking.  Anyway, its been awhile.  

I'll have remove the protection line and work on it.

Fred.

Fred,
I have a really hard time understanding how you can get the lines from a
175 
caught on the forward cleat. Mine never even come remotely close to  it.

Rummy
