[Rhodes22-list] Sail Cover Specs

[stan]

we have a pile of old sail covers and they are available for nothing - the 
catch is contribute $45 to our high cost of packing and getting to a UPS 
depot and then paying UPS.

send shipping address if anyone any interest.

>>Hello All,
>>
>>It has been quite a while since I have been on the list.
>>
>>I actually came on this afternoon and had close to 400 messages and that 
>>was just for the past month. I am glad to see you are all up to such great 
>>activities and doing well.
>>
>>I am in the process of continuing to make a sail cover for my Rhodes and 
>>could use some help with the  measurements. I have had the boat for going 
>>into my 7th season and started this project the first year. In the past I 
>>would take the sail off the boom each time I sailed.
>>
>>Now this may give a hint in that I do not have an IMF mast.
>>
>>My biggest question is, How tall should I make it at the mast?
>>
>>I have some instructions from Sailrite and their 10' sail cover has a 46" 
>>height. This seems to be very high. I do not have my boat stepped so it is 
>>difficult for me to know for sure. I have added the dia of the boom and 
>>sail along with the distance from the boom to the mast track opening and 
>>get a figure of 24" which seems more reasonable to me. If there is anyone 
>>who has a cover or their mast stepped that they could give me a 
>>measurement from I would be very appreciative.
>>
>>This has actually been a very long process which I believe may have 
>>started with taking measurement at one time. I had purchased a piece of 
>>sunbrealla. (We have a place up here in Maine that has Sunbrella seconds 
>>very cheap.) I went to start cutting a piece I had bought a while back and 
>>came to the conclusion that I had only enough for one side. So I went to 
>>get more last week and after getting home and re looking at the specs. 
>>think I may have had what I need in the first place. So as you see I could 
>>use some help. Best part is since I have so much material, I may be making 
>>a couple of these so I will get some practice.
>>
>>As to catch everyone up on the work on my boat, I have done quite a bit to 
>>it over the years. Some of you may remember It is a 1972 the I bought 
>>abandoned. I have bought new sails, rigging(well used from Stan), Engine 
>>(well used from MJM), made some modifications, repairs and painted it a 
>>great Navy Blue. And after a couple of years even gave it a name, Her name 
>>is Pleiades. All for under half of what a new one would have cost. It 
>>certainly has been a lot of fun especially the sailing.
>>
>>Again, I am glad to see all is well and I wish you all the best and a 
>>great sailing season.
