[Rhodes22-list] Sailing under jib alone.

[Shawn Boles]

Hi all:

A gentleman on the Facebook Rhodes site posted the following:
Yes
I have owned my Rhodes for 33 years after Stan built it for me. He refused
to take my order at the Annapolis Boat Show and insisted that I come to
Edenton to sail a Rhodes before I bought a new one. During that sail in
miserable weather he said, "When to wind is too high, roll up the main and
reef the Genoa." Best sailing advice I ever had.


This is the first I've heard of this tactic. I would have expected it to be
in Stan's manual. I would welcome comments from others on the list.

Thanks,
Shawn
