[Rhodes22-list] Dimension on rigging

[John Tonjes]

Jay,
The only time you raise or lower the boom is when the sails are out. The
O'day 22 parked in front of me has a single rear stay and has a line
swagged to it to hold the boom up when the sails aren't raised. Once the
sails on on they simply unhook it and the line is high enough to be out
of the way.
A bungee from the stay tensioned would also work.

Wally-
How about a rough guess, as I'm heading to the factory this weekend, 
weather permitting, and will need to have a dimension then. Because the 
dimension is non-critical, as it's taken up from block and line, I was 
thinking 16-18'. If Stan had a mast up or could break away from 
production, I could tap him as well. I should be ok if you didn't need 
to visit your boat.

For Rummy, unless I released the line, the boom wouldn't have enough 
slack for lower position. Or are you saying the line is redundant, and 
even a bungee cord would keep it from dragging when furled? You are a 
master of simplicity. I like the idea of controlling the boom from 
excessive swinging in light winds and all. Worth considering. Thanks, J
