[Rhodes22-list] Pop Top Connection

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi All,

I’ve attached a picture of the pop top slider connection on my older (1976) standard (i.e. non IMF) mainsail Rhodes 22.  As you can see, it’s a simple weldment.  The bent sheet metal slides up and down in the mast slot.  The bolt attaches to a pair of brackets on the leading edge of the pop top.  The ring is the lower anchor point for the boom vang and Cunningham downhaul tackle.

The front of mine is quite rough as well. I have a picture, but it looks a lot like yours (and I use a Mac).
