[Rhodes22-list] IMF Forward Lower Shroud

[Ronald Lipton]

My forward lower shroud is hanging by a thread.  Only one of the 
ss threads is still attached.  I am ordering a new shroud from 
West Marine.  if possible I would like to confirm the dimensions.
West Marine uses the measurement from pin to end of threaded rod.
The old Rhodes Owners web site has the following:
---------------------
Sometime ago measurements of different components were discussed.

Some of the measurements on my 1987 boat with IMF:

Mast	26' 0-3/8"
Toping lift	60'
Upper shrouds	27' 111/2"
Lower forward	10' 11"
Lower rear	11-11"
Fore stay	27' 101/2"
Aft stays	29' 6"
Measurements are usually from pin to pin or end of threaded unit.

I am assuming that 10' 11'' is the correct dimension for the order.  As I am 
on a mooring it would be very difficult to lower the mast twice or keep it down.

Can anyone confirm the dimensions?

thanks,

Ron
