[Rhodes22-list] Aft stay pulled loose

[Jeff Herbert]

rob,

I had the forestay (closest to the bow) on the port side pull out of the
cabin top 
last year while sailing.  I attached the stay to the handrail for the
remainder of the 
season until I could get it repaired.  Maybe you can do something
similar....
