[Rhodes22-list] traveler done, anchor roller next

[Michael Meltzer]

the "cuteest" virsion I saw came from peter, he used a stainless steel roller right over the chain plate, use the chain plate to
hold it down and connected a slitly shorten forstay to the bail on the unit, came out really nice.

Sunday I tried out my new traveler and new (used) Main sail on the Rhodes.
It seemed to work great in moderate winds, see what happens when the wind blows.
I tied the traveler into the stern rail, used plastic pads at the corners to mount the puleys and cam cleat and a solid HD plastic
car with a hole to ride on the 1" SS tube. 2/1 purchase on the traveler controls.


Next job is to get the anchor mounted on the bow. the boat came with a large aluminum fortress anchor. not very heavy but too big to
put anywhere. I am looking for ideas to steal on anchor mounts.
remeber I am a cheap sailer
