[Rhodes22-list] No questions. Just a photo of my 2014 Recycled 1998 Rhode...

Do you have any shroud protectors? One solution many of us use is simply 1  
inch PVC pipe with an end cap. About two feet long is all you need and it  
works like a bearing and the sail won't get hung up or destroyed. Chafing of 
the  sail on the shroud will shorten its life. I've attached a photo which 
shows  where I installed them. Having your sail hang up is a real pain.

"Under"  10 mph. Some gusts up to 10, but most of the steady breezes that 
day
were  5-6. That was enough to have a pleasant sail, but unless I caught  a
stronger gust, the 175 would catch on the shrouds and I had to go help  free
it. Seems like when I need the 175 most, it was a problem to tack. I  should
also note that it is a brand new sail (one of the options I paid  extra for
on the Recycled boat) so it is a bit stiffer than an older sail.
