[Rhodes22-list] Boom Vang for the R22

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

You want a cupped, not a flat mainsail running downwind.  The mainsheet,
wrapped around a midboom cleat, then tied off to the inner jib sheet track
ring or the cabin top grab rail, will hold the boom down enough.  The jenny
is your power sail downwind and your mainsail mainly directs wind into the
jenny.
