[Rhodes22-list] Oops - here are the pics I described Re: Single-handed sail video

[Rick Lange]

Hi ML,
It looks like you were poling the UPS.  I pole the genoa
instead to direct wind into the UPS.  
If the wind is not coming
directly from behind, I set the UPS opposite.  Like, if the wind is
blowing more from the port side of the transom, I set the UPS off the
starboard bow to keep it full.
That way, I manage to make wind speed
or hull speed, whichever is less.  But only up to about 10 knots of wind. 
Above that, I use the main to direct wind into genoa and furl the
UPS.
