[Rhodes22-list] Topping lift

[Mark Kaynor]

Rob,

Check the top of your mast - you may already have an extra sheave you can
use. Ours runs from the aft end of the boom to a sheave at the top of the
mast then down to another sheave at the base of the mast, thru a turning
block on the deck and back to a cam cleat.

Our 1976 Rhodes doesn't have a topping lift and I'd like to add one this
season.  Any suggestions?  There is an attachment point on the boom, but no
line.  Is this a fixed length line or adjustable?

Picture 0090 from
http://members8.clubphoto.com/kimberly513138/687351/guest.phtml shows the
boom connection, but how about the mast connection?  Same thing?
Suggestions on line diameter?  

Thanks
