[Rhodes22-list] Clanging Mast

[Jim Connolly]

My topping lift* runs from the sheave on the masthead out and down to a
turning block near the port cabin top handrail then aft to the small cam
cleat on the back of the cabin toop.  It could not clang but did hum on the
mooring if the mainsheet was pulled really tight.

* denotes that I have sold my boat.  It left yesterday for its new home in
NJ. I have advised the new owner of this list and I expect that he will
announce himself in due time.

Fair winds and following seas

My clanging comes from underway.
Otherwise I agree with Stan.
On my R'84 the topping lift runs Starboard to the mast cleat. In 15 knot
winds it's clangs.
However, when under sail at >15 knots the clanging seems to come from within
the IMF. (perhaps the cable to the mast light?) Anyone one else have want to
speculate?

Dear Rhodies,

We do not expect anyone to order this items but just felt you all should
know about it:

We have developed an all fiberglass tiller which is the same size and shape
as the wood versions only more attractive.  For those planning on buying a
new Rhodes every 50 years, this glass tiller can be used for each successive
boat and probably for the 4th, if you should live so long.

Its introduction price is a low $350 for Certificate folk.  $550 for those
not in that company community.  The price goes up after its 150 year
expiration date.  Of course, for those prices you get your choice of color.

DAVID:

I have not seen your boat but your topping lift is run incorrectly.  At no
point does this particular line come in contact with the mast (except where
it goes over sheaves) so it can not be accused of any noise making.  Someone
else in your crew is partying.
