[Rhodes22-list] Tacking angle

[Peter Nyberg]

Jeff,

When my 130% headsail is significantly reefed, I will sometimes use the block on the car on the forward track near the cabin side.  It's a bit of a pain to do the switch, and I don't race, so I'm not religious about it.  I've never used the cabin top lead for the headsail.  I'm pretty satisfied if I can to 100 degree tacks and still maintain decent speed.
