[Rhodes22-list] new GB genoa furling system

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

It sounds like a winner, even for me. I'm interested in seeing the final  
version.

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.
