[Rhodes22-list] Center Board Lift Line

[Graham Stewart]

I have attached a very rough diagram of the centreboard line path that I
drew when I removed mine. There are two blocks on the centreboard and one on
the cap. The line starts on the cap, goes under the first block on the
board, up over the block attached to the cap, down under the second
centreboard block and up through the tube. In my case I found that the
blocks had seized and yet I was still able to raise the board without too
much difficulty. Seized blocks would probably be worse than no blocks and so
I will be tempted to dispense with the blocks if others find them to not be
necessary.

Hey All

I'm restoring a badly neglected Rhodes and I'm at the stage of putting the
center board back into the skeg keel.

I have a question about the lift line.   On my centerboard, there are two
blocks about an inch apart.  Does anyone have a schematic of how the line
runs through those blocks?  Is there a block someplace up in the keel trunk?
If so, is it a 2:1 purchase kind of run or what?

This is what I'm thinking... is this correct?
