Hi all,I'm one of those masochists who launches his boat off the trailer every time I want to go sailing. I also singlehand, and sail on lakes where sudden high winds can occur. The only headsail I have is the working jib, which I hank on to the forestay. Ideally, I would like to have a genoa on a furler so I can have a big sail but be able to reduce it fast without leaving the helm to go scrambling up on the foredeck to change jibs. Question 1: how impractical is it to have a furler on a trailerboat since I have to raise and lower the mast each trip?Question 2: what's the opinion on the best size for a genoa for an O'day 22? 150? Question 3: I have to tune my rig, but I am experiencing an unsettling lee helm due to the center of effort being too far ahead of the center of lateral resistance. What's the lee helm situation on a well-tuned 22 with a genoa hanked on?Thanks, guys!Clay
