Oddly enough, someone on the C-28 list was asking how the genny tack
attached to the RF unit. They were confused due to the extra shackle, I
still haven't figured out what it's for myself.

Genny is the source of power for the RF unit. You may need a tuna for
maximum range. Gilligan please explain it!

My neighbor was out on his H-28, looked like he was taking some pics but I
think he missed this.

Hoping to aquire some more pics from our fellow sailors, none so far.

Putting those pics on webshots is a waste of time. It takes too long
to download.

Yeah, I understand that the library frowns on people trying
to upload from their public computers.

There's nothing wrong with going wing & wing with an A-sail. It's only faster
to reach back & forth if you can make a significant gain by apparent wind
(which most sprit boats can).

Your sail looks (from what I can see of it) like it was cut more for reaching,
too. The head is relatively narrow & flat, which is nice in light air because
it doesn't fold inward & collapse as easily.

You chased him under power? What do you mean, "he disappeared?" I hope you
don't mean sunk without a trace?!?

It does work fairly well reaching, still working out how to properly fly it
with the wind aft. It is a little more difficult without a pole, but my boat
was never set up for one.
