[Rhodes22-list] Tacking the 150 Genny

[Arthur Czerwonky]

Hey Army,

How good to gain your sage advise!  At five knots or less I would be tempted to agree with you.  I really now think that a 150 is a better all-around genny for our boat - would you agree?  I have a 100 from another boat and tempted to try to test the ability to point.

Now the more important- what about our annual bet, bub?

Best to you and crew...
