[Rhodes22-list] Is it possible to make the R-22 into a cutter?

[Stephen Staum]

David,
I often single hand or have my wife on board who hates to heel so I  
reef a lot.
When Doyle made my new jib last year, he added a luff pad to improve  
sail shape when reefed.  It works 1000% better. They may be able to  
retrofit the luff pad as they forgot mine when building the sail and  
added it on afterward.
