[Rhodes22-list] Clanging Mast

[C. Robert Lester]

My clanging comes from underway.
Otherwise I agree with Stan.
On my R'84 the topping lift runs Starboard to the mast cleat. In 15 knot winds it's clangs.
However, when under sail at >15 knots the clanging seems to come from within the IMF. (perhaps the cable to the mast light?)
Anyone one else have want to speculate?
Bob

Dear Rhodies,

We do not expect anyone to order this items but just felt you all should know about it:

We have developed an all fiberglass tiller which is the same size and shape as the wood versions only more attractive.  For those planning on buying a new Rhodes every 50 years, this glass tiller can be used for each successive boat and probably for the 4th, if you should live so long.

Its introduction price is a low $350 for Certificate folk.  $550 for those not in that company community.  The price goes up after its 150 year expiration date.  Of course, for those prices you get your choice of color.

DAVID:

I have not seen your boat but your topping lift is run incorrectly.  At no point does this particular line come in contact with the mast (except where it goes over sheaves) so it can not be accused of any noise making.  Someone else in your crew is partying.
