[Rhodes22-list] Backstay Spreader Bars

[Alan Robertson]

Sorry, Can't Help,

Our traveler lines about 4' higher than the transom cl\hain plates serve as a tensioner for the 2 back stays as well; Stan had a good simple (KISS Principle) idea here on our '83 and wonder if the "improvement" is really an improvement?

  Rob, 
  That looks like a good quick option. I don't know if there is any advantage
  on having a traveler bar except just might give a little more head room.

  Derek,
  Not all Rhodes have a traveler bar, but I expect your 86 should.  I've got a
  76 that uses a "traveler wire".  See which one you have.  Here's what mine
  looks like. - rob

  Hello, I am about ready to sail my 86 Rhodes and the only thing I missing is
  the transverse tubes that attach to the backstay. My backstay lines have
  blocks mounted on place where it looks like a stainless steel tube should be
  mounted. 

  Can anyone help me or tell me the lengths of the tubes that are used?

  Thanks

  Derek Dodson
