[Rhodes22-list] What Should I Have Done Differently?

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Elle,

I am going to go look at the boat tomorrow and see if I have that block device.? I really don't think I do ... or if I do, I must not be using it appropriately.

Thank you for sending this,

- Mark

Mark,

If it were daylight I'd run down to the dock & take a
better picture..but I had this one that may give you
the idea.

If you look on the boom just behind the clew of the
mainsail, you'll see the main sheet goes through a
block that rides in the main sail track...(sorry it's
snow covered!_)

That block slides with the mainsail as it goes
out...but it has to be manually pushed forward when
the main isfurled.

Have you got one of these...that is maybe at the end
of the boom?

If you'd like a better picture, I'lll go down  to the
dock tomorrow AM & get a better one..(It's all of 30
yds or so..;^)

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