[Rhodes22-list] Which is Fastest?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bob,

You can attach a caribiner to the genny clue for attachment to an extra set of sheets between the mast and inner shrouds and clip on or off whatever sheets as you wish.  You can also connect a wire at the right level between the two lower forward shrouds and create a 'traveler' for a self-tending jib.  I use the latter, which is much less fuss and work.  Does that make sense?

>I have a question: How do you run the genoa sheet between the mast and inner shroud as indicated in B below?  I have never had any success doing this, but it seems like it would help (I was trying to point into 18-20 knots last weekend and could have used that).
