[Rhodes22-list] 175 vs 130 Genoa

[Jesse Shumaker]

Mary Lou, thanks for sharing the great photos of the Code 0 / UPS sail.  Do
you recall any particulars (how far back) regarding the pad-eye placement
behind the forestay?  I'm adding a plate as a base for a bow roller, so I
think I may add a pad-eye to the base plate while I'm working on this
project.  All of this will be through bolted to a backing plate on the
interior of the deck in the v-berth, so it will be adequately supported.  I
don't have a Code 0 / UPS right now, but it would be nice to have the
pad-eye in place in case I do get one of those sails later.

Peter, have you been happy with the placement of your pad-eye that you
added for your UPS sail?  I saw your setup where you added a pad eye to
your bow sprit in one of your youtube videos.

Thanks,
Jesse Shumaker
