[Rhodes22-list] things to look for in a 1973 Rhodes 22

Sat Sep 10 16:15:58 EDT 2011

Dear Chris,
Thanks so much for the offer to show me how to make the flat disc work as a
furler. Whenever you get a chance is great.  I am thank full and excited.  

Sincerely,

Dennis Frappier

Hey Rob,
	The flat disc at the bottom of the furling tube is all you need.  I
will try to get a picture of the setup in a week or so.  In the mean time
perhaps someone has a picture in their files of this older setup.  It works
great, I've been using it for 35 years with only a few minor glitches and
quirks.

Dear Rob,
Is it possible to find and attach a furling spool onto the base of the round
plate at the base of the furling rod that goes over the forward stay?  

Respectfully,

Dennis,
First off, congratulations!  Second, standard main or IMF?  Any idea what
furling jib you have?  And how about the traveler (what the rear of the boom
will tie too).  Do you have a traveler bar (3/4 foot length of metal bar) or
a wire traveler (looks like the metal rigging).  I've got a 76 standard mast
with standard jib.  Where are you located?  Maybe you are near one of us. -

I have just purchased a Rhodes 22 1978.  I am looking for information on how
to rig the mast and boom and how the furler for the jib works?  Is there any
information you can point me too?  Also are there specific plans for the
interior?  Dennis F
