There should be an opening on the mast end of the boom that will allow you to remove the car from the boom. I?d do that and inspect the car just looking for anything that doesn?t look right. The only other thing I can think of is to check that all of the blocks involved in the system turn freely. ?Peter > On Nov 5, 2017, at 2:52 PM, Thomas s wrote: > > That is exactly what I did. > I can slide it be hand, but when I use the outhaul line, it seems to bite down. > > Tom > >> On Nov 5, 2017, at 1:48 PM, Peter Nyberg wrote: >> >> As a first step in diagnosing the problem, I would suggest you disconnect the car from the sail (with the sail furled), and see if it will slide freely along the length of the boom. >> >> Peter Nyberg >> Coventry, CT >> s/v Silverheels (1988/2016) From shawn.sustain at gmail.com Sun Nov 5 15:31:34 2017 From: shawn.sustain at gmail.com (Shawn Boles) Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2017 12:31:34 -0800 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Outhaul car binding In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi: Into the wind.

For short, infrequent hauls, it?s better not to have brakes because they just rust and freeze up. I don?t know about the NY State requirements but if there?s a way around them I?d opt for no brakes. When I pulled my trailer out of its summer storage spot to pull the boat last week, I had to drag the trailer across the boatyard for 15-20 feet before the wheels would turn. When I put the boat back in the water in the spring I think the trailer will be due for a thorough check-up. Open to words of wisdom from the list on anything I should be doing sooner.

For short haul trips as yours, I'd skip. Virginia has a similar requirement, but has no inspection for trailers so there is not a good way for them to enforce it. I've been told if you get in a wreck, they might cite you for improper equipment. My plan for that is not to get in a wreck. I'm not advocating not following the law, but if it was me, I'd skip the brakes. Might check to see how NY does its enforcement. - rob -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list [mailto:rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org] On Behalf Of David Bradley Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2017 9:49 AM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Trailer questions My two cents? For short, infrequent hauls, it?s better not to have brakes because they just rust and freeze up. I don?t know about the NY State requirements but if there?s a way around them I?d opt for no brakes. When I pulled my trailer out of its summer storage spot to pull the boat last week, I had to drag the trailer across the boatyard for 15-20 feet before the wheels would turn. When I put the boat back in the water in the spring I think the trailer will be due for a thorough check-up. Open to words of wisdom from the list on anything I should be doing sooner.

I've done quite a few hauls for Stan and others and the majority have been with brakeless trailers. Admittedly, I do have a heavier truck (F250 Super Duty) that helps with the braking. By far the most frequent problems have been to do with the trailer bearings and axles rusting up, and having the all braking paraphernalia and braking hubs exacerbates this. I believe the regulations are if your trailer has a Brake Actuator then you must have brakes that work, if not then you're OK.

It has been used 3 winters and is in excellent condition. It is designed for the boat stored with the mast up and is an "Inside the Toe Rail" style -- it doesn't come all the way over the edge of the boat. Rails on the Rhodes 22 vary a bit from year to year, so it might not fit exactly your boat, but can probably be adapted for any Rhodes. I'll try to include a photo here. The cover cost me a little over $1,000 in 2014, but I would consider almost any offer to see it go to a good Rhodes 22 home. I decided a wanted a cover that came over the toe rail and so I bought a different one this year.

If I can't get you interested in building sailboats maybe I can interest you in buying the latest version of the Rhodes:? Lots of new "inventions" since your days including inboard retractable electric tunnel propulsion. Operating a Rhodes under power is now a whole new single dimension world. Who did you say you were??

Also, we are moving from Minnesota to Tennessee or perhaps Ohio. If we moved to Ohio I could sail our 32 footer to Lake Erie, but the long drive just to sail is a bit much. Also, the dockage and storage fees plus maintenance for a larger boat is a bit pricy. We put quite a bit of money into her which will be harder to come by in retirement. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed many a night sleeping on her and taking her out onto Lake Superior. I just don't think we can keep it up, especially with my wife's physical limitations, now. The Rhodes is so much easier to handle from the cockpit.

Great to hear from you! I'm Ron Jewett. Was a past owner of Ozone a 1991 Rhodes. I sold her to David Jones a couple of years back. He lives near you, I believe. That electric tunnel propulsion sounds fabulous. I'll have to make a trip out to the factory to see it. Hey, I welcome something to do in retirement! I'll go stir crazy, otherwise!

I'm sad to see the end of the Rhodes factory. I wish you the best! You have been so helpful to all of your customers as if they were your own family. How long will the factory remain open? I may not be able to get there until summer.

I had a chance to see the inboard electric setup at the Annapolis Show and it?s truly amazing. If I were starting over I?d jump at it. My two cents.
