[Rhodes22-list] Mystery Part

[Michael D. Weisner]

Hi Joe,

The mystery part was most likely the car that rode in the lower portion of 
the mast track that connected to the front of the pop-top.

Hi all:

Here's the scoop: While stepping down my mast in late July, I lost an 
unknown part. I had gotten the lines off the boom and raised it up against 
the mast. made it fast with a bungee. Suddenly, something metal came 
clanging down (I believe from high up on the stern end of the mast) hit the 
deck with a "boing" like a tuning fork and then took the deep-six. I have 
not had time to closely inspect the boat since then and cannot (given my 
limited experience with the R-22) figure out what part this might have been.

I would appreciate any informed speculation from the saltier among you what 
the hell I lost, so I can replace it and sail in the spring. I have spent 
sleepless hours envisioning the rigging on the boom and looking at pictures. 
Save me!
