[Rhodes22-list] Removable and Installation of New JIB

Sun May 11 23:21:26 EDT 2014

Think you are right. According to Hank....distance to mast is a bit over 8 ft. And sail extends about 4 ft past that, based on my best recollections.... I could probably do well with the 130 seeing as I often start fully unfurled, but then end up furling 20-30% as the wind picks up. Again sailing singlehanded....when wind is well under 15 but somewhat over 10, maybe 12 or so, I find it necessary to furl that sail some, but never chose to lower the boom position on the main. After reading a bit on this site, I plan a definite change in tactics or sailing posture, whatever words are right....and hope to see a more balanced experience... Guess I'm a better sailor than I thought, considering that I've been carrying more sail than I should and never lost it....rounded up a few times and close to burying the rail but always survived..if you know what I mean....usually make flags extended straight out with gusto as my limit... We'll see in a week or so.
