[Rhodes22-list] Re design of Rhodes Interior and elimination of compression post.

[John Shulick]

Hank,

You are correct, the load must be transferred to the bulkhead and the
bulkead needs to be securely attached to the hull/deck/cabintop to
distribute the load. In addition since moving the stays inboard will reduce
the mechanical advantage, the boat should stiffen up a bit with regards to
heeling. The load on the stays will increase so I would also consider moving
up to 5/32 wire rather than using the standard 1/8
