[Rhodes22-list] Tacking the 150 Genny

[Graham Stewart]

I wonder if this problem of the jib catching on deck hardware has something
to do with the cut of the sail or the setup with the furler. I had the
problem of the large jib hanging up on deck hardware when I first got my
boat but eventually I realized that the furling gear (the old Cruising
Design) was not installed properly and when installed properly it raised the
tack of the sail about 6 inches as I recall. I have never had a problem
since - and I can't attribute that to technique as I don't have much or
that. I wonder if there might be a way of adjusting the height of the
furling drum to address the problem - assuming the luff of the sail isn't
too long to allow it to ride a bit higher.

Technique, technique and technique. In more than twenty years of sailing
with the 175, I have only managed on one occasion to get it hung up on the
front  cleat.....and that took a lot of rum to do it.

We've  got the 175 Genny and I now have the admiral reef it in every time we
come  about.  Otherwise, it just hangs on everything. -  rob

Have had some difficulty getting the Genny across the  foredeck , hanging 
up on the forward deck cleat when tacking. Could you roller  reef in to
allow 
better transfer of the sail across the deck and then let sail  back out to 
previous position or would this be too labor intensive for a lazy  day sail?
