@WL [Rhodes22-list] travaler bar help

[Chris Geankoplis]

Alan,
        No pictures but with my previous '76 there was about a 5 foot wire
that attached to each stearn chain plate and sliding on that was the
mainsheet block set up on a small pully that rode the wire travler.  Under
tension then, you have a wire that goes from one side of the transom to the
other forming an inverted V shape, ^ yeah like that, perhaps  2 feet or so
above the transom would be the wire travler's apex.

I've use both (my "newer" '83 has the bar) and I definately prefer the bar,
it's worth the money, but with the wire you will be OK too.

> All,
> In my search for the travelar bar assembly I contacted the previou owner
to ask if he still had it tucked away somewhere. He told me that he never
had one and that he sailed with out it, attaching the pulleys to the back
stay somehow. Does anyone own a Rhodes that does not use a travelar bar if
so could you post a picture so that I can see how this works. Mine is a 1976
