[Rhodes22-list] new GB genoa furling system (The Rhodes 22 Email List)

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I think we only put on one for an owner and that it came with its own 
furler (which I did not like).

If these sails come with a "bolt rope" then it could be put on our new 
system, when the standard genoa is down - but I thought the advanced 
sailors who use these sails, do so with both the standard genoa _and_ 
the asymmetrical flying at the same time?  The system's perfect use is 
for using a 130 genoa with its full luff able to be employed instead of 
the 175 furled so the luff length gets lost when going to the smaller 
genoa in heavier winds.

The combination new IMF outhaul and new Traveler system and full luff 
130 genoa sheeted to the third set of leads (ones on the cabin top) move 
the Rhodes into a star pointing category.
