[Rhodes22-list] 2nd Reply to Rex

[anima13]

Actually, Ed, it is more fun to do "real time" discussions! After all,
that is what this list is about. You can skip 'em, ya know!

Pointing:
I found that the Rhodes pointed better with less than 175 out in heavy-ish
winds.
We (raceteam) are not flat sailors. We go for the shortest distance (supreme
pointing
with 12-20 degrees heel: 15 being the ideal amount.  We play the traveler to
keep
the heel in upwind and gusts. In light winds we play the jib constantly, but
with a
bery light touch. That can be the most tiring of all jobs. Of course,
sitting on the
leeward side in light winds can also be tiring in an odd sort of way. Not
really natural
feeling and you can't move much!

Gosh, I forgot about how I used to wind the sheet onto the windward side.
That
is SO convenient when you are singlehanded. Easy to winch, also.

Hey Ed,

Can't we just point folks to existing archived info without blasting them
for asking.  I think that people would discuss things more openly if they
weren't concerned about being broadsided for mentioning something already
covered.  If you are annoyed by these requests for info, just let someone
else respond rather than unloading on them.
