[Rhodes22-list] Rigging the main sheet

[Weiss, Robert L]

The way the Rhodes 22 is rigged was a major selling point for me -- easy to single hand with the main sheet in the back instead of in the way of the cabin entrance. Main sheet attaches to the end of the boom and the traveler which is held between the two backstays. This photo is a little strange because of the wide angle, but you
can see where the lines run.

The 1978 Rhodes 22 I bought in July was missing any sort of mainsheet
rigging. That is my next project to tackle. Has anyone seen an R22 rigged
with a traveler and mainsheet installed at the entrance to the passageway -
like some smaller Catalinas? It seems like an awkward place for it to be
but practical for handling the mainsheet.

I am a bit baffled when I look at pictures of R22s with travelers and
blocks rigged between the rear stays at the level of the stern rail. Can
someone explain the setup and hardware for that.

Thanks in advance.
