[Rhodes22-list] Downhaul rigging revisited

[Mary Lou Troy]

Rory,
I'm not sure I understand what I'm looking at but it looks different 
from ours. I don't think we have a turning rod and I don't believe 
we've ever had a problem with the line jamming between the rudder and 
the casing for the rudder. I think I'm going to have to go take a 
look. Looks like it is warming up so I might get over to the boat 
later this afternoon with the camera. I'll post pictures if we get 
anything useful.
