[Rhodes22-list] Is it possible to make the R-22 into a cutter?

[Disick, David]

Greetings fellow R-22 fans.

I sail my 1996 Rhodes 22 mostly in Gardiners Bay, New York.  Up to 15
knots or so the 175 Doyle jenny is great, but approaching 20Knots and
above, it is terrible and furling to reef doesn't work well.  It flaps
and feels as though it will rip apart.  I have tried letting out just a
little sail, and that works sometimes, but it would be so much better if
I could put up a smaller sail.  Any thoughts on a stay be added behind
the forestay so I could run up a sort of storm/working jib for very
windy conditions?  I mostly single-hand.  Any comments would be welcome.

Thank you

David
