[Rhodes22-list] Question about rigging

[From the Puentes]

Dear Chris, Ed, Commodore Rummy:
 
Thank you very much for your very kind assistance. We are truly obliged. The pictures were great and was easy to figure how the rigging goes. Once we put it together, it just seemed so self evident. 
 
I also noticed a few changes to the some of the hardware from our model. The interesting thing is that while mostly everything in the boat looks brand new, including the boat itself, some hardware items have practically desintegrated, and the rudder expanded between the 2 plates in the upper part. Fortunately none of these changes interphere significantly with the operation of the vessel. 
 
We live in Asharoken (a small island in the Northshore of Long Island, NY). We have not seen any Rhodes yet, but would love to know if there is anyone nearby. 
 
Again, thank you very much for your timely help.
 
Pat

Welcome Back Puentes,
I'll let the techno guys with the
pictures explain the rigging but just wanted to say how intriguing the
concepts of a "Rip-van-Rhodes" is. Do tell us more. Also where are you
located? There must be a Rhodie near by!

moved out of the country (China and Japan). The boat was wrapped and stored
in a marina. We just came back and unwrapped it, rigged it and relaunched it
(actually our first launch, as when we just got it, was delivered), so we
never had the opportunity to put it together until now. It took us a few
hours to figure out how all went together, but finally did it. Except for
one problem: we cannot figure out how does the main sail gets rigged. We
have a self furling innermast sail. The boom is in place and held by the
boom vang (I hope I am using the right terminology). Then there is a 3/8
line attached to a block at the end of the boom with 2 additional blocks.
How is the sail rigged to the boom?
