[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes22-list Digest, Vol 2960, Issue 1

[Joe Camp]

Dave:

     Welcome to the list and congrats on your boat.   I am only a two year owner, myself.  

     On lifelines: I have no lifelines on my recycled '87.  I think the lack of them makes movement forward much easier.  Anyway, with the self furling genny, there is not not much reason to go forward under sail.

     On the front ports: my boat came with the opening ports. It also came with snap-on covers that can be adjusted to allow air to circulate, but generally exclude the water.  I took the covers off once. The wells filled up with water, but none leaked into the cabin.  I drained them, reinstalled the covers and never looked back.  

     On Travellers: I have the old cumbersome line managed traveller.  I want to install a track and car as a replacement.  Check the list for this variation.  Where do you sail?

Stay wet!
