[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 in St. Maarten

Fri Jan 7 15:35:19 EST 2022

Rob,
Snaps would be great and will probably be the plan going forward. Right now
there are two wood "caps" where the PO routed a channel that lined up with
the port. I will send a picture later.  Stan told me my hull was contracted
so I wasn't sure if all molds were the same for '76.   My mainsheet
traveler was a frankenstein setup of aluminum angles and such. I posted the
setup a year or two ago to Nabble. I'm thinking I will buy the current
setup when I replace the rear stays. I'm in the middle of the refit. I just
finished securing the sixty bolts holding the CB cover after replacing the
line and blocks underneath.  No one should ever do that more than once. Did
anyone else ever have two removable copper pipes centering their CB?
