[Rhodes22-list] 130 Genoa vs the 175

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I read Joe's response, and he is correct.  The 175 is one heck of a sail; however, you can do very well with the 130.  I have a 150 but I am hanging the 130 shortly as it is all you need to get the R22 moving smartly.  Yes, on a low wind day, more sail is some times nice, however, it is also very heavy, so light wind may not be enough to get you the shape you need.  If you are a casual sailor, the 130 will do you nicely.

Just a thought.

I am primarily lake sailing with 6-13 knot winds the majority of the time in our newly acquired "recycled" 2011 22".  I have three girls that love to lay up on the bow and enjoy the sun.  Please let the comments fly...  To date, i have only run the !75... the girls have a hard time laying under it.  Stan is sending me the 130 and i am going to have to make a decision soon.
