Ben, Ta Dah! Ya see. Some of us old timers still know what we are talking about. Rummy In a message dated 8/23/2010 6:54:25 P.M.

I have to say that I didn't expect much difference, but I was delighted to get inside 45 degrees at last. I obviously didn't let the Genny out to the full 175, but at 100 we flew along and I felt like I could make real headway upwind. I had delayed trying the new route for the sheets because I thought the sail would get all hung up in the shrouds, but it's become no big deal. Try it, you'll like it.
