[Rhodes22-list] traveler description

Mon Oct 5 10:00:54 EDT 2015

I just found a great description and photos of a homemade version of the
raised traveller at http://www.relevantarts.com/pandion/traveler.html. The
boat is called Pandion but the person who posted the description is not
identified.

Graham,
On mine, about a foot up on the  backsyays there is a short length of stay
wire holding a two inch long collars that hold the stainless steel tube that
holds the sheeting gear. The short wires are crimped to the backstay after
being run through a hole on the top and bottom of one end of the collar . On
the other end of the collar is a 1/4" hole on the top ,which a fast pin is
dropped,after inserting the SS tube, with a matching hole , inside the
collar.
