[Rhodes22-list] Re design of Rhodes Interior and elimination of compression post. (update)

[John Shulick]

Rob,

The crack above the arch is where the celing panel meets the vertical wall
of the hatch opening. It has been there since I've owened the boat. With the
rigging taut it has opened up a slight amount (1/32-1/16)
future repairs include clamping it together and wraping it with a piece of
fiberglas cloth but that repair wont be till later. Now it's time to sail.
