[Rhodes22-list] Here is Doyle offer on UPS pricing

[Ronald Lipton]

The UPS is much lighter than the 175 and will retain it's shape (and not
need to be poled) in much lighter winds.  You also get to pick the 
colors (yellow
and green?).  The harken luff furler is probably not crucial, but it is 
nice to be
able to furl the sail without going to the foredeck.
