[Rhodes22-list] short inhaul line?

[Tootle]

Jay,

You will be happier with a couple of extra feet of line on Genoa.  Depends
on which furler you have as to ease of changing line.  

On main I think someone changed it up.  But if you drop mast and slide donut
out it will be easier to attach end.  

I know both of the above have been discussed in the archives.  Where?  I do
not know.  As to subject line, well look how often people change or edit
subject line.  

At one time I most of the measurements of lines for the R22.  I just looked
where I thought that they should be and could not find any.  On either line
you do not really have to take off to measure.  Just extend fully and
measure.  Then add a couple of feet.  I think that I added three feet on the
Genoa line which was a tad too long.  But I have never cut off any incase it
shrinks again.

Addendum:  It is the dreaded polyester mites eating gel-coat. These are
micro organisms that came to earth on meteorites. Once in contact with salt
water they become macro organisms. They thrive on petrochemical byproducts,
specifically polyester resin. They bore microscopic holes in fiberglass
boats at the source of heat. If you are sleeping on the boat they will sense
your heat through the hull and then proceed to bore a teeny tiny hole. The
hole is so small that water will not come in but large enough for the
polyester mites to invade the boat. Once inside they immediately locate and
devour their second favorite food...Sperry Topsiders (only used ones that
were worn without socks).
These things are evil. Once they invade your boat they can only be stopped
with either a moderately sized nuclear explosion or a can of Comet Cleanser.
Good luck.
