[Rhodes22-list] rig measurements

[Mary Lou Troy]

It seems to me that someone once told me that the different Doyle 
lofts are independently owned and don't necessarily talk to each other.

Not sure if Tom's came from the same loft but the mass order that was 
done back in the early 2000s went to Doyle City Island/Doyle Ploch.

Paul Beaudin at City Island was the one who helped us get the sail 
cloth weight and dimensions right. He was great to work with.

There's a link on the Rhodes owners page to discussions (and a now 
outdated order form and pricing) from the time.

I agree with Tom that it would be overkill to do all the hardware 
modifications to put it forward of the mast when a spinnaker would do 
as well. The beauty of the UPS is that it is so simple to fly and 
that it is good upwind (to a near reach) in light air.

Best,
Mary Lou
