[Rhodes22-list] Correction on Earlier Post about Jib leads

[Hank]

Rummy,

I keep thinking of things like this as they were on my Islander 36.  With
much greater sail area, the pressures were corespondingly greater and
screwed into the cabin top would have ripped out in no time.  I guess the
pressures on the R22 are a lot less.  Also, my Islander 36 was most fun to
sail in the 20-35 knot range.  I swear she sailed fastest at 25 knot wind
with a single reef in the main and a 100% foresail.  Man, was that FUN!

Hank
