[Rhodes22-list] Moving on

[sail tds.net]

Eric,

I spoke with Colin Mack and he advised against use of the Mack Pack with a
loose footed main.  Mack makes a great product and I like it better than the
Doyle ( which can't be loose footed because the mains'l is sewed to the
pack) .  Practical Sailor reviewed all  of the systems and really liked the
Dutchman.  The cost of all the systems is about the same.  The only add'l
cost of the Dutchman is the custom saill cover.  Yes, I really miss my
R-22's IMF. Thanks for your comments.

Reef early,
