[Rhodes22-list] new GB genoa furling system

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Dear Rhodies:

It is restless time at general boats so we have been tinkering with a 
different kind of headsail furling system. The inspiration has been the 
popularity of the 130% genoa joined to the reluctance to give up a 175 
for those times "when it would be nice to have one".

So the goals are:

Headsails can be changed without taking down the mast.

Headsails can be changed under way easier than any other currently 
available system.

The package can be readily shipped via UPS, USPS or FedEx.

It can go onto a Rhodes' stay with nothing at all being done to the 
existing stay.

So simple to install even at his age Rummy can it , with only a used #2 
philips head screw driver.

Price:  Priceless.  At least for now but based on our previous 
"inventions", half our cost.

before we go through the mandatory R&D, we wanted feedback on whether we 
should be disturbing the Rhodes perfect design.
