[Rhodes22-list] Windward sheeting traveler

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

To the traveller troubled:

     Stan's new traveller design makes this operation a breeze and gives this amazing boat another card up its sleeve. (That's a metaphorical sleeve; boats don't have jackets with sleeves)  I find myself using it all of the time, compared to the old traveller, which I avoided unwrapping at all. My best advice is to buy this item... Spend some money at GBI and get Stan out of the natural food store and back into the business of building superior sailboats. (By the way, Stan does have sleeves, and they're loaded with surprise cards.)

I don't understand your complaint. Mine and everyone I've seen sheet to
windward.
