Does anyone recall the values for an R-22's "I" and "J" measurements?
("I" = vertical distance from  masthead  to deck,  "J" = horizontal
distance from top of genoa furler  aft to the mast).  I'm about to order a
UPS sail from Doyle; they need these measurements.  Doyle's website has a
list of the these measurements for many sailboats including a "Rhodes
Continental 22". I think this was an early name for the Rhodes, perhaps
before Stan began building them in house,  but are the measurements
identical from then to now?
Also, Mary Lou Troy has been generous with helpful comments about her UPS
-she likes it.  Doyle says it should ideally and most practically be
mounted forward of the genoa, but no room for this on the R22.  But I
wonder if this could be done with a deck mounted retractable aluminum tube
bowsprit -Selden Mast has a neat one on their website !  I've sent Stan a
letter   but while awaiting his reply I recall Stan has said," Ask the
List". Am I daft or could this idea fly?  Richard Arking 1996 Recycled (no
