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

[Lowe, Rob]

Rummy,
No experience with a loos gauge what so ever, but did find this.

Not sure what appropriate for a Rhodes, but here is what Roger said
about it some years ago.

Doesn't sound like John's numbers are unreasonable. - rob

John,
Your numbers from the loos gauge mean absolutely nothing to me, but your

comment about a 1000 pounds of pressure on the mast support troubles me.

Anyone  else have any thoughts or experience with the loos gauge?

Hi  all,

The boat has been in the water for three weeks now and the rigging  has
bin
tightened gradually to what I consider normal. In that time the  boat
has
been hit by several cold fronts sweeping through the area with  winds of
30
mph with gusts to 50. I've been out sailing (10 to 15 with  gusts)
trying 
out
my new mainsail from sailcare. and can report no problems  aside from 
getting
used to some squeaks and groans as the 34 year old cabin  adjusts to the
new
load. The interior picture shows the arch under a mast  load of approx
1000
lbs.   
120 on the baby stays and 240 on  the side stays as measured on the loos
gage.
