[Rhodes22-list] Jib sheet locations (was: Close Haul Question)

[Mary Lou Troy]

John,
The coaming track is next to the cockpit and the winches. Different 
era boats seem to have different length track. Ours goes from the 
front of the coaming (just aft of the cabin) to adjacent to the winch.

The side deck track runs alongside the cabin. I've attached a picture 
but I haven't had any luck getting pictures through to the list so 
I'll copy you on it directly.

The cabintop lead consists merely of a lead with a cam cleat - no 
track - if you get the picture you can see the cleat between the 
cleat for the topping lift and the poptop. There's a bullseye lead 
further forward that I think we use with this but without a better 
picture or being at the boat I don't recall. We haven't used the 
cabintop sheeting arrangement enough. Usually when we get winds high 
enough to make it useful, the waves are big enough that we don't want 
to be out in it.

Hope this makes things clearer.
