[Rhodes22-list] cockpit mounted main sheets

[peter klappert]

Agree with Chris G--intriguing. I find there's too much going on at the stern, esp if you need to work on the outboard or rudder (both of which I recently had to do). It's not hard to release one end of the traveler and push it to one side, but I too would like it where I can see it while facing forward.

But I can't seem to open the attached photos. Anyone else having trouble?

That is intriguing! With the traveler amidships, is there less rise of the
boom when sailing downwind?  In other words does the sail remain flatter?
It seems that would be an advantage. I wonder what Stan thinks.

hi all
not a frequent poster but u thought you would be interested in my latest
change to my rhodes...i find having all sail controls in front of me is a
more natural way of sailing for me...also i like the openness it creates in
the stern for engine work and swim ladder exit...i havent posted pictures
since my ups post a hundred yrs ago so i hope this works
best
to all
