[Rhodes22-list] Jib lines without roller question

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hank,
With the genoa reefed down, the inner sheets can be led through the 
eyes in various configurations. In the picture I just sent our track 
next to the cabin is visible but some boats just had eyes instead of 
track. I believe our track came from the factory as shown but I think 
many boats only had eyes and some had nothing on this middle setting.
