[Rhodes22-list] What is sail area of 175% and 130% genoas

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Rummy:  Actually we are on our second R22, the 3 is because we named the 1983 Tartan 37 "NoKaOi 2" that we ran for five years.  Loved the name, that in Hawaiian means "the best."  I certainly understand the preference for the 175 on inland waters.  Coastal areas generally give us good winds and more often than not we have to furl the 150 some to reduce excessive heel as we don't have access to that bevy of young French ladies to volunteer as rail meat!😃

Great to see you active on the site as we assume you must be well on your way to recovery!

Stay well, Bob "NoKaOi 3".  Stuart, FL

On the east coast of Florida with relatively good winds (12+) the 175 just becomes too much sail and extra weight on the nose that you do not need - that is in my “humble opinion” as the saying goes. {:>)
