[Rhodes22-list] Dimension on rigging

[Bob Weber]

Jay, I am catching this tread late, sorry i have not jumped in yet.  I had 
the same issues with needing more sheeves.  I wanted a topping lift and a 
halyard for the wisker pole and some day a spinnaker.  I have a standard 
main w/ furling jib.  The jib sheeve is empty.  I bought a halyard line ( 
added about 15 feet more than necessary ) and two shackles.  I will have a 
shackle on each end of the halyard.  One end will serve duty as a topping 
lift the other end will serve as spinnaker halyard ( I wont need a topping 
lift while sailing ) The extra leanth is to lead it aft to the cockpit.  
Hope this helps I am a big fan of the KISS theory and If something can do 
double duty it will (Kinda of a motto of Rhodes).

Bob W.
