[Rhodes22-list] sail trim and traveler adjustments

[ed kroposki]

     Question by the non technical sailor about using the traveler on the
Rhodes 22 for maintaining sail shape.  

    Wally has been the only one who has specially mentioned using the
traveler in sailing.  So, Wally, and any others who have the IMF in
particular, some questions.

    Sailing in light upwind conditions, which way do you move the traveler
to maintain sail shape.  In a heavy wind do you move it the same direction?

    Now for reaching, do you move it the same direction under the same
conditions?

    For the technical guys, how does the traveler maintain the best sail
shape?
