[Rhodes22-list] Mainsail

[Mary Lou Troy]

Michael, I've got to say there were about 5 days last summer where the 175 
was just the perfect sail for conditions on the Bay. You can point higher 
with the genoa than with the UPS and the combination of windspeed and the 
direction we were headed was just right for the 175. When we go to replace 
the genoa, I wouldn't be adverse to bringing it down to 150 and then 
getting a smaller jib for the days you know you'll want one. For the 
Chesapeake, a 130 might be a little small especially if most of your 
sailing is upwind.
