[Rhodes22-list] Bowsprit

[Leland]

I'm sure big parachute type sails would help for light wind runs but probably
less on a Rhodes than most boats.  Our boats are so light with little drag
in relation to that big Genoa.  If the wind is too light for using the
whisker pole it's time for me for fire up the iron Genny.
