[Rhodes22-list] IMF Forward Lower Shroud

[Stephen Staum]

As I have just replaced my standing rigging following demasting, I  
have my old shrouds at home. If they are marked by position I will  
check the measure. My old R-22 was an '87.

By the way, finally launched the Carol Lee 2 yesterday. It is an '83  
that now has my old IMF mast complete w new Doyle mainsail. Also  
upgraded to 6 breaker panel w 2 batteries, 14 watt solar panel & 12  
volt chiller.  Can't wait to sail her - just motored yesterday due to  
lack of wind. Stay tuned.
