[Rhodes22-list] Funny I should ask --one answer

Congratulations Bob, you qualify for the R22 extreme team. Your certificate  
and baseball cap will be in the mail shortly.
Generally in those conditions, a reefed main and a furled genny will  give 
you more forward thrust than having just the main out. Another way to  reduce 
heeling and increase comfort level in this kind of wind is to drop the  boom to 
the lowest position (IMF only). This is generally considered the first  reef 
with the main sail. The boat will sail better, but you do have to watch  your 
head. I'm not sure if the standard main sail boom has that option...help  from 
others?
