[Rhodes22-list] Knockdown

Al,
When running the sheets between the shrouds I've always run them through
the eye leads on the side of the cabin, which allows me to pull out
about 130% of the Genoa. I've never tried running the sheets directly
to the car in the rear-most position, but it seems like the sail would
still be pushing against the outer shroud.
Maybe not--I'll give it a try.

175 all the way. boy (54) still claims he can point a few more to
windward with jib inside. Wife does not agree because of increased
heeling. So we don't unless he is visiting.

Hi Al,
What size jib were you using that you could lead it inside the outer
shrouds when it was all the way out. Don't think we can do that with
our 175, but maybe I'm not remembering. It's been a while since we've
run the sheets inside.
