[Rhodes22-list] Boat doesn't come up into wind

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Bruce,
I've never heard of what you are asking about and I've had my R22 for  
twenty years.

I've  only had one other boat besides the Rhodes, but it and everything I  
read
sez that when you let everything go, the boat should come up into the  
wind. 
Mine doesn't, unless the wind really gusts it over hard.  On a  normal sail,
even with the jib only modestly unfurled, she sails ahead  straight as an
arrow.  Which is usually nice, but since I single-hand  it I bet if I fell
overboard, I'd feel that was less of an  advantage.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
