[Rhodes22-list] Todd's Traveler question

[Kroposki]

Todd,

     From what I have seen of your work and ideas, you are as good as
the engineer types that you refer to.  However, your attachment did not
come thru.

     Bob Dilk's idea might be worth pursuing.  Why cut the end off, just
crimp a fitting on directly at the appropriate place so that whatever
you attach on does not move.  Unless you put the same stresses on that
Rummy does it should stay in place?

     Keep in mind that you guys are playing with old wires.  Remember
Capt. Bob Keller's experience with an old stay.  Maybe the safest
solution is a new backstay appropriately made.
