[Rhodes22-list] Dimension on rigging

[Jay Friedland]

Wally-
How about a rough guess, as I'm heading to the factory this weekend, 
weather permitting, and will need to have a dimension then. Because the 
dimension is non-critical, as it's taken up from block and line, I was 
thinking 16-18'. If Stan had a mast up or could break away from 
production, I could tap him as well. I should be ok if you didn't need 
to visit your boat.

For Rummy, unless I released the line, the boom wouldn't have enough 
slack for lower position. Or are you saying the line is redundant, and 
even a bungee cord would keep it from dragging when furled? You are a 
master of simplicity. I like the idea of controlling the boom from 
excessive swinging in light winds and all. Worth considering.
Thanks,
J
