[Rhodes22-list] Sail Data

[Mark Whipple]

Based on some comments about sail size on this list I'm thinking of
ordering a kit for a 130% genoa from Sailrite. (I have several sewing
machines and enough experience to be dangerous. 😉) FWIW I currently have a
self-tending jib on a Hoyt boom that may actually be less than 100%.
There's also a 175% that came with the boat but I don't love tacking big
sails, especially after hearing about the experiences of others.

Can anyone tell me if these measurements are correct? I know I probably
should measure the I and J myself but the mast is down and the boat's
covered, etc.

These are from the Sailrite site, who claims the data came from Harken or
Lithicum(?). The only thing on sailboatdata.com is the Rhodes 22
Continental (which credits "Sam" Spitzer, BTW).

I - 25 feet
J - 9 feet
P - 22 feet
E - 9 feet
(not that P or E matter for a genny).

Thanks for any input.
