[Rhodes22-list] Which is Fastest?

[Bob Keller]

Lee,
I have the same set-up and actually also have an inner genoa track that I use when running the genoa between the upper and lower.  It works, but I have never had success running it on the cabin top.  I'll have to try again and see if I can make that work because the closer the better.
Thanks
