[Rhodes22-list] Rigging Question by Phillip

[3drecon at comcast.net]

Ed,
   My boat is a 1989 "loaner".  I don't think it has ever been recycled and appears to be a lower-end model.  It sails nicely but I was wondering about all the "extra" pieces on it.
   I did get the mast raising instructions and after breaking off the mast step, thought I should read them (I made a repair, which came out nicely and have successfully raised and lowered the mast several times since).  After tuning the stays, I don't recall anything about the running rigging, but between you and Slim, I think I have it.
   How do I change the thread?

Thanks,

Philip
