[Rhodes22-list] Redesigned Traveler

[Lowe, Rob]

Dennis,
I expect these are the photos that John was referring to.  These are from my (old) 76 and shows how the "wire" traveler is set up. - rob

You can rig a traveler with just a line between the two stern cleats.  
You need a single block or even just a stainless ring to slide along the traveler line.  I seem to recall an old photo on the web somewhere that shows this on an old Rhodes, but I can't locate it right now.
