[Rhodes22-list] Sailing Q: how many folks singlehand a R22 with15+knot winds?

[Lou Rosenberg]

Jerry

I haven't reefed more than a few feet of the main as yet so I cannot  
say how it would be when sailing.
I have rolled up the entire sail on the boom last year just before my  
launch but didn't notice any imbalance which you refer to
on my Rhodes.

thanks for sharing your experiences.
