"A Conversation with Stan Spitzer: Sailor, Builder, Entrepreneur" by Jerry Thompson is in the January/February copy of my favorite magazine. For those of you who know Stan, there is not much new here. But it is nice to see Stan get some publicity and the opportunity for non-Rhodies to find out about the legend.

The extension tube bent while hauling the boat, as I ascended the ramp. I thought that I would lose the trailer and load. I kept moving until I was on level ground and I was able to use the weight of the boat to bend it back enough to insert the tongue into the trailer. It had rusted away at the far end and the stresses of hauling caused it to deform. I was able to purchase a 20' length of 2x2 bar stock from a supplier in Stony Brook to replace the extension tongue. I cut it to about 12' (I always wanted another foot or two to keep my vehicle out of the salt water) and added a bolt-on coupler from Walmart. The toughest part of the job was cutting and drilling the 2x2 stock. It worked great! I never had issues with the undercarriage or frame. The only other problems that I had was that the horizontal piece connecting the right and left sides, under the roller, rusted away. I was able to have a shop weld additional flat stock and reweld the rod stock that connected the bunks to the frame.

The extension tube was rusted severely. It was an engineering challenge to get it free from the housing, and I was considering replacing it - with your comments on record, that?s on the list now too. Another item I?ve been wonting to replace, but haven?t gotten around to, is the motor lift. The original '84 lift does not extend high enough to pull the prop clear of the water and I have to tilt the motor to its max position while underway and I?m often alone. I?m still pretty agile, but that?s not easy. I want a manual lift of Stan?s design the accommodates my extra long shaft 8HP. (I don?t like the electric ones I?ve seen) I spoke to Stan a couple years ago. For reasons never clear to me, he was reluctant to sell me one or the parts, unless the boat was down there. I also want to re-configure the stern rail so there is break in the top rail where the ladder lifts. Climbing aboard from the beach, over the top of the rail, especially with the new traveller in the way, requires gymnastics that my wife refuses to to accept. I really like Stan?s modern design with the curved rail and seats, but do?t want to spend the money on an entirely new stern rail. Do you know anyone near the east end that could help with that? A traveling TIG welder? I?ll send some pics of the trailer when it?s done.

I forget how, I might have used a small piece of chain. Then attached the extended come along to an ?s?hook toward the end of the 2x2 tube and began to put some pull pressure on. With tension on it, I heated the housing, banged, scraped, pulled, banged, heated and so on. After about 20 minutes of high pressure and persuasion, the tube began to move. Once it move about 12 inches it was free and slid easily. Check the bottom of the housing. Mine was rusted through and I cut some of the heavy rust off with a 4? grinder.

Which is what I?ve been doing lately. Back in the winter and early spring of 2003, there was much discussion of what I think was a fairly new type of head sail from Doyle. At least it appeared to be new to the people on the list at that time. It?s called the ?UPS?. That stands for Utility Power Sail. It?s still available from Doyle, otherwise I wouldn?t be bringing it up now. (http://www.doylesails.com/cruising/downwind/ups/index.html) It?s a large sail, probably a bit larger than the 175% genoa. The sail fabric is lighter than used for the genoa. It does not use the head-stay for support, instead it requires an eye on the fore-deck and a halyard. In recent searches I?ve seen it referred to as a ?code 0? or a ?code 1?, if those are terms that mean anything to you. Back in 2003, not everyone who showed an interest explained clearly why they were interested. But at least a few where thinking then along the same lines that I?m thinking now. I want to be able to sail better in heavy weather. There?s a bit of a bank-shot in my thinking here. The UPS is not a heavy weather sail. But then, neither is my 175% genoa. The big genoa can be reefed in higher winds, but a bit of reading on the Internet reveals that I?m not the only person who feels that it really doesn?t perform that well. So, step one would be to replace my old and tired 175% genoa with something like a 135% genoa. But then for light air sailing (i.e. most days) supplement that with the UPS. As I said, back in the archives there?s lots of chatter in Winter and early Spring of 2003 about the UPS. Several people claim to have ordered one, a few people claim to have received one, there are one or two initial installation reports, and then for the rest of the year there?s nothing. My primary purpose for this post is to ask if there?s anyone out there using a Doyle UPS (or something similar) who would be willing to enlighten us about the pros and cons and ins and outs and hows and whys.

Peter Nyberg Coventry, CT s/v Silverheels (1988/2016) From mtroy at atlanticbb.net Mon Jan 22 23:00:09 2018 From: mtroy at atlanticbb.net (Mary Lou Troy) Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 23:00:09 -0500 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Doyle UPS In-Reply-To: <909E5254-D0C8-4055-858A-9EB2B4C3AB9A@sunnybeeches.com> References: <909E5254-D0C8-4055-858A-9EB2B4C3AB9A@sunnybeeches.com> Message-ID: Hi Peter, We were one of the original participants in that discussion. We have since sold Fretless (and gone over to the dark side) but we did order the UPS sail and used it off and on for more than 10 years. It was a wonderfully fun, forgiving sail to play with. It did take some additional effort to get it set up each time you used it, more effort than we laid back Rhodies with our furling sails were used to (halyards? what are they? ;-) )? You couldn't leave it set up all the time but rather had to attach the halyards, run the sheets and hoist it each time you wanted to use it. That said, we enjoyed using it when conditions were right and we had the time to play with it. It cannot be used to point as high as a regular genoa but was good for anything from a reach to dead downwind. You could sail above a beam reach in winds from 3-4 knots to somewhere around 7 or 8 knots though that might have been pushing it a bit. Off the wind it was good for a little more wind. The sail fabric is more like a spinnaker cloth. Because it can't point point as high as regular jib, I wouldn't think of it as an all purpose light air sail. There are several people on this list who have replaced their 175 genoa with something smaller. Hopefully, they'll pipe up about that to give you the other part of the equation. I've attached a couple of old photos of Fretless showing off her UPS. Hope this helps your thinking, Mary Lou ex Rhodes 22 now Rosborough RF-246?

I can't remember who the manufacturer was. Basically, the sail that I had worked like a spinnaker but without the pole. It was for downwind sailing in light air. It was very difficult to control when the winds picked up and there were a few times when we had a real struggle to take it down. So when you say " I want to be able to sail better in heavy weather" I don't think this is the sail that you would want to use. But for downwind sailing in light air it was a dream.

It would sail beautifully upwind (but not closehauled) and downwind in light air. We could sail in stronger breezes off the wind. We never had trouble furling it to take it down when the winds got stronger. The only issue would be if we left it up after it was furled in stronger or gusty breezes, it would begin to unfurl itself at the top because unlike the jib, the furling mechanism works simply to loosely control the sail. We would sometimes keep the sail bag lashed to something at the base of the mast after the sail was deployed and then when we wanted to drop the UPS, we would furl it, drop it? and stuff it right into the bag with halyard and sheets attached so it was ready to be deployed again.

I wonder if the differnce is where we sail. We got the UPS with the hope that it would make the very light air days (4 - 5 knots) on the Chesapeake more fun. On those days, the 175 would slat, flap and collapse on itself - sometimes from its own weight and sometimes from the powerboat chop which can be constant on weekends on the Upper Bay. The UPS made a big difference in those conditions and we used it a lot. A few years before we sold Fretless, we had the Sunbrella UV protective strip on the 175 replaced with a lighter weight material and the the sail behaved better in light air. We didn't use the the UPS as much after that but sometimes would pull it out just because we had so much fun with it. I forget what that UV material that we had put on the genoa was called but it was white, lighter weight and attracted dirt. It didn't look as good but the sail behaved a lot better in very light air.

It would sail beautifully upwind (but not closehauled) and downwind in light air. We could sail in stronger breezes off the wind. We never had trouble furling it to take it down when the winds got stronger. The only issue would be if we left it up after it was furled in stronger or gusty breezes, it would begin to unfurl itself at the top because unlike the jib, the furling mechanism works simply to loosely control the sail. We would sometimes keep the sail bag lashed to something at the base of the mast after the sail was deployed and then when we wanted to drop the UPS, we would furl it, drop it and stuff it right into the bag with halyard and sheets attached so it was ready to be deployed again. It made for an awful lot of lines all over the place but was doable. The tack of the sail would still be attached so that part of the sail was lying on the foredeck.

As I understand it, this issue is not just the shape of the portion of sail that?s exposed, but also the effect that the portion rolled on the headstay has on the airflow. The bigger the roll, the worse the effect. If I do go with a smaller genoa, I?m not sure if I?d get a 150 or a 135. Maybe I?ll be able to find some guidance in the archives. It?s good to hear that even the 150 gets hung up less when tacking. I live in Coventry, CT, which is in the eastern part of the state. During sailing season the boat lives on a mooring in Groton, CT, just east of the Thames River. It?s about an hour drive. It?s really an ideal location for a home port, as there are many potential destinations and anchorages within a sail of a day or two. Even so, I?m hoping to expand my horizons in 2018 by taking advantage of the easy trailer-ability of the Rhodes 22. I?ve had an email exchange with the harbormaster in South Dartmouth, MA confirming that as long as you pay the fee it?s OK to leave a vehicle and trailer in their boat ramp parking lot for up to a week.

By ?crowds out?, I assume you mean that the reefed 175 creates a roll that?s big enough to interfere with the deployment of the UPS. My thought was to replace the 175 with a smaller genoa, and generally use the UPS in light air and the genoa in heavy. Using both wing-on-wing downwind sounds like fun too.

If you mount the UPS deck u-bolt 8" or so aft of the genny, there is plenty of space for both. As for furling the genny skinny, do it on a broad reach in at least 15 knots of wind. In other words, if you start out sailing and unfurl the genny part way, it will likely be too fat to get good performance close hauled. Instead, first unfurl it all the way on a reach, then furl down to where you want it.

My concern is that I have only found ONE rating on line and it seems to be negative. Does anyone have experience doing business with this company? Thanks for your help!
