[Rhodes22-list] Mast Horseshoe

[Dennis]

Since you're asking Chris about his setup...

What do you have wrapped around your stays, lower stays, etc Chris? I 
put a black spiral wound plastic strips around the bottom three or four 
feet of my stays (about 3/8" diameter), and they help keep my175 genoa 
from hanging up when tacking. The issue may become less of a problem in 
the near future (I'm changing to a 135 genoa soon), but still... 
inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks much

Dennis McNeely
