[Rhodes22-list] Forward lower stay extender for mast raising

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Shawn, any chance you can lay it out and. Measure , in inches,between the
two attachment points? My "tool" idea is to be able to adjust the length
of the extender , instead of messing with the turnbuckle for the exact
length ,with a little spring loading, just for good luck. If you never
hear from me again, you can assume it didn't work. If it does, I'll post.
