It may just be one of those days. You want to hop in your boat and not want to handle sails. Not even want to steer.
With the Rhodes stern rail tiller locks you can lock in your course and free your hands. With the Rhodes back stay travel bar you can set the main to take care of itself. And now, with the Rhodes new Self-Tending Jib, you can give your 175% hard working, hard driving genoa (and genoa sheet handling), the day off.
You can cruise hands-free with your Rhodes new Self-Tending Jib.
Tack all you want. You do not have to touch a jib sheet. Come about into the wind or jibe like a mad man or mad woman. There are no jib sheets to tangle with.
The single "do not touch me" jib sheet is there, comfortably resting in its cabin top cam cleat for handy cockpit control. (For hands that do like to fidget for optimum sail shape and attack.) For those who want to go in any direction without ever having to touch testy sheets (that are always on the opposite sides of the boat) - and do not mind giving up winning this time out - the jib sheet is invisible.
The Rhodes reborn ST Jib brings new life to the art of Lazy Sailing. But when you get tired of having nothing to do, just drop your ST Jib in a flash (the halyard is at your cockpit finger tips). The simple system stows away just by pulling two fast pins. And you can return to the exhilarating thrill of your standing-by, ready-to-go, 175 % furling genoa. Also 100 % controlled from the cockpit.
You can take the Rhodes Self Tending Jib with your order or plan to add the system to your new or recycled Rhodes later. It's easy to do.
PS: On the other hand, when your joy for sailing does call for more sail control and more speed, try the Rhodes new ST Jib and the furling genoa AT THE SAME TIME. And watch your knot meter.
