[Rhodes22-list] Purchasing new genny????

[Bill Effros]

Twice in one day.

Again, Wally, I agree with Rummy.  I rarely furl below 20 knots.  I sail the boat upright with minimum heel.  I generally sail alone.  The 175 makes it very easy to come about.  I adjust sail sizes to keep the boat well balanced.  When I'm sailing in crowded harbors I reduce the size of the 175 so I can see the traffic better.

Wally,
When you furl depends a lot on your style of sailing and how much ballast 
(people weight) you have with you. When alone, I never furl until the winds gust 
above 20 knots. Below that and I'm comfortable. The 175 is an awesome sail. 
Besides looking good, it is an excellent performer in lite air as Bill 
mentioned. By the way, I think this is one of the first times anyone has agreed with me 
on the list.....I appreciate your support Bill.


Rummy
