[Rhodes22-list] Steadying sail/anchor riding sail

Sun Apr 6 21:53:22 EDT 2008

Ron, 

the double sided tape caused little problem w/the
needle....occasionally I'd have to wipe it w/nail
polish remover (acetone). I'll be glad to send you
some tape to try if you'd like. I believe I still have
some left...

also, the only time you'd have 6 layers of fabric
would be at the points where the sides come together
at the points.. ..but a slightly different technique
would have the grommets at that place & she would only
have to then sew three layers max at any one time....

But, you want to 'get 'er done'...so whatever!!

Let us see it when you get it.

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
