[Rhodes22-list] Removable and Installation of New JIB

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Cary, I am a rookie so for me it's a hell of a lot easier to tack with the smaller genny. It rides much higher so visibility is improved as well. 

The 150 is probably a good idea also. It maybe the perfect compromise. 

It was gusting pretty good today so the 130 was all the sail I needed. 

Cheers,
Ted
