[Rhodes22-list] Shroud tension,(was all pacific boat show)

[Chris Geankoplis]

AH Ha! Now I remember!  Yes I shall take you up on your offer.  I wish I
could drop down to see you this spring but I am also very busy getting my
old boat read for a month or so in Baja.  I wan't to leave as soon after
school is out as I can.  However, I would really enjoy a call any time you
have questions about the boat. My # is 541-857-1061.

I wrote the following before I read Rummy's et al directions.  With the risk
of being redundant I'll send them off anyway.

By the way I think there are lots of pictures of your type of roller in the
archives.  Check them out and it will be apparent how you secure the head of
the sail to the top of the alum. pole using a blunted pan head screw and
washer. (at least thats what I use) and secure the foot with a short piece
of line to the "Disc".  Your forestay runs up through the alum tube after
your carecully remove the split nylon plug at each end.  If they are very
old they may break when you remove them and finding more is very time
consuming for Stan, they are cheap but the two Russians and 1 hillbilly that
are required to find tlhem in Stan's WaterWorld storage system AKA the
Swamp...(I wonder if Stan ever fixed the roof), might cost you a few bucks
in shipping and handeling.  If not available you may take the old ones to a
plastics place and they might be able to turn some on a lath using nylon (?)
rod.



Good Luck
Chris

>   Chris we live near Carson City, so a side trip to the green state is
certainly possible. I believe you did mention that you had an interest in
sailing Lake Tahoe. We are 45 min. from the lake.
>   If you ever do make a trip I would like to take you to Pyramid Lake
also. I just want your opinion on the lakes appearance.

rn I can store your boat in my 40x40 garage. Then you could fly and I could
pick you up at the a/p. Just an option you can consider.
>   Our project boat is still in need of work. Last week I practiced putting
up the mast with our new GB mast hoist. (yippie) The main sail is in fair
condition, But the roller furling jib sail looks incomplete. It only has an
aluminum tube that the sail slides up on. I cannot figure out what holds the
sail up on the tube, and at the bottom of this tube there is nothing that
looks like pictures  I have seen of roller furling head sails. There is only
a flat disc welded to the tube about 6or 7" in dia. No housing that holds a
coiled line, just a flat disc 1/8 " thick and 6" in dia. After We solve this
problem I believe I am ready to launch. Then it is just TLC work, you know
cosmetic stuff. The finish is sun faded, and there are lots of stress
cracks. I have enjoyed the boat and am looking forward to this summer.
