[Rhodes22-list] 175 vs 130 Genoa

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Tom,
There's still some (very old) info on the Rhodes owners website from 
when we were initially talking about the sail. 
(http://rhodes22.org/upssail/index.html) I don't think Doyle actually 
sells this sail anymore but they or someone might make you one. A search 
of the archives for UPS might yield some more a lot posts. It's more of 
what they were calling at the time a Code 0 rather than a spinnaker and 
could be sailed to somewhere above a beam reach. In addition to the 
sail, we needed to add a halyard, a halyard restrainer and a padeye on 
the foredeck behind the jib for the minifurler for the UPS to attach to.

The sail was just a tremendous amount of fun to play with. The attached 
photos are our old boat flying the UPS on a particularly lovely day when 
we sailed south from Rock Hall, MD, came around the point at Eastern 
Neck Island and then sailed northeast up the Chester River all with the 
UPS and no tacks in a north wind. And then a helicopter came and took 
our picture. Just an unbelievably wonderful day.
