[Rhodes22-list] Which is Fastest?

[Leland]

Bob,

I have a cam cleat on the cabin top for running it between the mast and
inner shroud, and a cam cleat on the side of the cabin for running it
between the inner and outer shrouds.

If the downside to furling headsails is poor sail shape and most cruisers
have furling headsails, I'm surprised more don't have multiple methods of
running their sheets.  The shape may not be perfect, but it's a huge
improvement.  From inside the cabin you can easily and safely change the
non-working sheet to all three positions.
