[Rhodes22-list] Gelcoat Repair

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Marc 
I heard that the new furling system allows headsail changes without dropping the mast. 
Can you confirm that theory? 
The Rhodes 22 - 170% headsail is nice when it's light wind, but winds above about 10knots require reefing, which is not so great for performance. 
Is there a ‘Luff Groove’ which allows for sail cages, or some other method? 
thanks
