[Rhodes22-list] Rigging clevis pin & chainplate size

[Alan Robertson]

Not at all. It's easier to replace a 3/16 pin in 3/8 hole when rigging is standing and under tension. Sheer strength of a 3/16 is adequate, the way Stan has designed the standing rigging. The Rhodes is the only '22 with 9 stays all on separate chain plates, reducing the tension on each which amazes the riggers at our marina.

  Hi, all,
  Does it matter that all the shrouds and stays on my '77 Continental have 3/16 pins, but all nine chainplates have what appears to be 3/8 holes?
