[Rhodes22-list] Bow Chocks

[Graham Stewart]

Stephen:
Putting the chocks on the edge would be ideal but just about impossible
without major work as you indicated. The chocks worked for me where they are
shown but I did need to use some chafe guards on the rope to avoid rubbing
on the edge. I attached about 1 foot of plastic tubing to the lines with
plastic wire ties and that seemed to work well. It would be nice if there
was a metal piece that might be attached to the edge but I haven't seen
anything like that. Others may have better ideas.

Thanks Graham. I can easily use thru bolts in that position. I was thinking
that I had to mount on the outer raised edge & the interior must be
disassembled to create access to the bolts. As long as your position will
keep the pennants clear of the forestay strap, I am good to do it there.
