[Rhodes22-list] I just got my new old Rhodes

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Ron,

Just look at this boat, and a '71.  At this pace we will still have vintage craft when we are in our 90's.  Scary, isn't it?  If you can see the second picture - as pedestrian as this may sound, what is wrong with the 'almost a traveler' approach.  My sailing is not so refined that the traveler bar is essential.  Ponder whether an arrangement like that wouldn't be more workable for you and Linda, especially with your impressive new swim ladder walkway.  Take that a step further - what if you hung the clew onto the port aft shroud (get the boom out of the way), used a clip-on for a rope traveler on the stbd side (get the tripping obstacle out of the way) , and you would have a dandy walk-thru (under the stbd aft shroud) directly from the the swim ladder.  

Better find an aspirin...
