[Rhodes22-list] Redesigned Traveler

[John Lock]

You can rig a traveler with just a line between the two stern cleats.  
You need a single block or even just a stainless ring to slide along the 
traveler line.  I seem to recall an old photo on the web somewhere that 
shows this on an old Rhodes, but I can't locate it right now.
