[Rhodes22-list] Tacking the 150 Genny

[C. Robert Lester]

I've recently tried the following setup & like it so far.
My 150% Genny has it's sheets run inboard of the outer stays. I furl the Genny to the point it never touches the spreaders.
Pointing  with this closer hulled setup is really enjoyable so far.

With the proper technique, the sheets will never get that far forward to be  able to get hung up on the forward cleat. You need to work on your technique.

Stan has  a "guard" that fits over the cleat to prevent the sheets from getting  tangled in it.  That works, but it still is easier in light  winds especially to bring the genoa in short of the shrouds and then let it  back out, in my opinion.
