[Rhodes22-list] Tacking the 150 Genny

[Cover-Man]

Steve,

The 150 should be an excellent size genny for our boat,  mine being a 175, although many of our skippers have noticed some sail hangups in light air.  You might try holding the leeward  sheet a little longer thru the tack, almost until it backwinds, then release it so it can 'burst over' to the opposite side of the mast.  I concur with you that roller reefing on each tack would be tedious.

Have a nice day!

Could you roller reef in to allow better transfer of the sail across the deck and then let sail back out to previous position or would this be too labor intensive for a lazy day sail?
