[Rhodes22-list] Inquiry on 130% genoa

[Ric Stott]

HI Charles
Thanks for your input
Personally I think a 130 and the UPS are a great combination for the  
Rhodes 22.
Questions.
How do you hoist you UPS?
Do you have a dedicated halyard or do you sue the topping lift?
Do you have a modern roller furler with a luff groove?
