Bruce,
I've never heard of what you are asking about and I've  had my R22 for  
twenty years.

I've  only had  one other boat besides the Rhodes, but it and everything I  
 
read
sez that when you let everything go, the boat should come up into  the  
wind. 
Mine doesn't, unless the wind really gusts it over  hard.  On a  normal 
sail,
even with the jib only modestly  unfurled, she sails ahead  straight as an
arrow.  Which is  usually nice, but since I single-hand  it I bet if I fell
overboard,  I'd feel that was less of an  advantage.

Any  thoughts?

Thanks,
