[Rhodes22-list] Rigging the main sheet

[Lowe, Rob]

Tom,
Attached are some photos I've posted before of the rigging on my old '76 Rhodes with the standard main and the old style rigging.  See if these help.  Please note the bungie cords are not part of the setup, the topping lift should be attached to the boom where the bungee cords are.

Rob

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Rigging the main sheet

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.
