[Rhodes22-list] Which is Fastest?

[Bob Keller]

Lee,
I have a question: How do you run the genoa sheet between the mast and inner shroud as indicated in B below?  I have never had any success doing this, but it seems like it would help (I was trying to point into 18-20 knots last weekend and could have used that).
Thanks.
