[Rhodes22-list] Sail Plan Changes

[Mary Lou Troy]

Rummy,
Do you ever get light air and waves? That's where we have the most 
probelms with the 175 and where the UPS sail has made a big 
difference for us. It refills a lot quicker once the air has been 
knocked out of it by a wake. Also great way off the wind when the 
genoa would almost blanketed by the main.
