[Rhodes22-list] Newbie question 1

[Theodore DeSantis]

 I know this has nothing to do with your letter but I had a Rhodes 22 and I have the mast, Jib, a dutchman and home made mast raising set up all in good shape that I would give to any fellow sailor. I live in South Jersey right by Cape May. If anyone is interested just shoot me a email at mategotlowhook at yahoo.com and my name is Ted.

 Matt,
I, too, am an experienced sailor and found many idiosyncrasies with the
Rhodes. "Respite" has the 175 jenny and i had difficulty tacking in light
air. I added longer PVC shroud rollers (it came with 12"-18" rollers) I had
mahogany rollers on a previous boat so being a traditionalist, I stained the
PVC. See photo attached.  One thing, especially in light air, try to wait
for a lift to build up your speed and get the helm over hard and fast, if
not you're going to be in irons before the jenny gets over.  Hope this
helps.
