[Rhodes22-list] Genoa size and usage

[Al Miller]

This thread has been of great interest.  I would prefer not to 'set' on the
mast if I could do this on the shroud.  Looking forward to the pics.

Mary Lou,
I attach the whisker pole at the bottom of the shroud, around the threaded  
part. It's a little more abrasive on the plastic whisker pole fitting, but  
barely noticeable and it keeps it from riding up. 
After I buried the bow going wing on wing, I'm very careful about how  much 
sail I have out. Even with the 175 partially furled, I would still pole
out. I 
use a really light weight pole. Costs about $100 at WM. If I break it,  not
a 
big deal to replace it. 
I will have to remember to take the digital camera with me so I can get
some 
shots of my genny in different configurations. I have great sail shape,
even 
when furled down to 100. If I have furl any more than that, I should be  
anchored in a cove drinking massive quantities.
 
Rummy
