Bob... I've "restored" my 82 Rhodes 22... with some modifications to 
accommodate an over 60 year old...single handle in "moderate weather" on Long Island 
Sound. 
    ...Regarding my traveler system....  It is based upon the following: 
    Use of Stainless Steel 1 " Tubing to fabricate a cockpit pulpit with 
sufficient strength to endure max. expected force of Main Sail and then some. To 
accomplish this a pair of stainless steel U plates  "clamp over transom" thru 
bolted ....secured to stainless steel uprights of rear pulpit rail.  All 
sections bolt or weld secured
  THEN OBTAINED VIA STAN"S ASSISTANCE THE TRAVELER CAR HE EMPLOYES>>>> AND 
THIS WAS MOUNTED ON THE PULPIT>>> APPROPRIATE BLOCKS AND CLUTCHES WERE ALSO 
MOUNTED IN A SIMILAR MANNER> 
   THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR THREE YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS>> BACK 
STAYS INTACT 

   IF YOU WISH WHEN THE TEMP RISES ABOVE FREEZING I"LL FORWARD PICS>>>   BURT
