[Rhodes22-list] Self tending jib

[Mark Skapinker]

I have both the Genoa and self tending jib. Thus far, I have been sailing with the Genoa only. After reading all the postings here, I have become expert in reefing it to 100% and less.

Mark, 
	Do you have both the Genoa and a self tending jib?  Or have you been
sailing with main only?

P.S.  I almost made it to your country last week.  I got as far north as
South Hero, Vermont.

I have now had my recycled R22 for almost 3 months and it has been amazing.
I have learned so much in general and especially about the specifics of the
boat. I keep coming back to this list and learn even more each time I look
at all the emails (like how to sail in fast winds). 
I have a question please. My R22 came with a self tending jib. I have not
used it yet - because I have no idea how to connect it or how it works. Stan
offered to talk me through it on the phone, but I know he is really busy and
I don't want to distract him.
Does anyone have anything written about the self tending jib on the R22? Any
photos or clues how I can learn how to connect it up and use it - and how to
use it with the Genoa at the same time? Up to now, it has remained hanging
in front of my mast and have now become too inquisitive to ignore it.
Thanks
Mark
