[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit support/lifting size

[Michael D. Weisner]

Check out our archives for more information.

I decided to create my own mast crane and associated crutch. The crutch was created from 2" PVC pip with a steel pipe insert. This gave the crutch the needed strength while the PVC protected the fiberglass from damage. The crutch is erected inside the stern while two "legs" provide a clamp to the stern itself. I need to find some pics.

In the meantime, here are two links that might be of interest:
