Caesar,

The links to the pictures are fairly long and broke across 2 lines.  I ran 
them through TinyURL and you may click on these below:

and this one comes from a boat with the IMF, ignore the power line!

Rob,
I cannot open the pictures. I'm getting error message 404; something about 
an outdated url.

Chris,
I've got a 1976 too. Here are some photos I've previously posted and
one I found from another owner. See if these help. - rob

ignore the bungi cords on these, this was before I installed a topping
lift.

I have the current setup with traveler bar. I recalled seeing this
older
setup on the Rhodes22.org web site

http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/CONTINENTAL2.jpg

This lacks a traveler bar but still looks like the traveler lines (for
lack
of a better word) are attached to the backstays.

Based on the brown vinyl, hair/beard/big glasses on the fellow on the
left,
I would date this photo to early 80's at the latest.

It's hard to see how a traveler on the after deck would not interfere
with
lifting the tiller/shipping the rudder.

I believe I recall that some of those ships used a wire suspended from
deck
eyes at each end of the transom, each with a small metal block., on the
wire
rode a block that the main sheet hardware was attached too. The blocks
at
either end were part of the hardware that positioned the wire
"traveling"
block that was attached to the main sheet hardware.
