[Rhodes22-list] Removable and Installation of New JIB

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Cary,

You will love the smaller genoa.  I had a 175 on my first Rhodes and liked 
it but tacking was a pain and the boat was quickly overpowered when the wind 
freshened.  The Carol Lee 2 came with a 150 and I love it.  Tacks much 
better and the boat is easier to handle in a blow with less reefing required 
hence better sail shape and pointing.

Ted, where do you sail out of?  I am so jealous that you are already in the 
water.  How did you do bottom paint - as it has been so cold and wet?  I 
sail out of Squantum Yacht Club off Wollaston Beach in Quincy.  We just put 
our floats in this weekend so I could not be out there yet even if I was 
ready.  I am hoping for an early June launch with bottom paint being done 
next weekend and daughter's college graduation on the 24th.  Maybe we can 
rendezvous and raft up for cocktails some evening.  You can email me off 
channel @:  snstaum at gmail.com.

Cary,

I have a GB furler and a 175 on my recycled 1991/2013. I just replaced it 
with the 130 and so far I really like it.

I had to drill a few holes in the flexible aluminum tube to accommodate the 
higher tack attachment tab. I had the mast down so it was really very 
simple. Just take off the bottom furler and disconnect the tack and head 
tabs. The sail should slide out the bottom.

The new sail is a breeze to tack compared to the 175.  I am sure there will 
situations where I'll miss the 175, but in really think the 130 will work 
well for me 90% of the time.

Spring has sprung in New England. I took the boat out in Boston Harbor on 
Saturday and it was awesome.  I am looking forward to taking her out again 
on Sunday. It's supposed to be in the mid 70's and sunny.

Let me know if I can explain anything in more detail.

Cheers,
Ted
