[Rhodes22-list] Sheet Dimensions and Specs

[Ric Stott]

Ken, I made drawings for the fittings that attache the traveller bar  to the back stays and hold the traveller in place. I had them made out of Delrin at a machine shop and they make it easy with a Fastpin, to remove either one side, or the whole traveler from the backstay.  This is especially helpful when any space is need in the back of the boat for running the outboard, boarding and debarking from the ladder or even entertaining.  
If you, or anyone need those parts, let me know and I’ll try to  dig them up.
