[Rhodes22-list] Rigging repair

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is available from any plastics  
supply house. Just look for [plastics in the yellow pages. Also, since the rig 
 is so new you might contact Stan for those pieces. He probably knows 
exactly  what you need and has some ready made.

Rummy,  you are right. The current version I have is two pieces 
(unfortunately) and is  held together with the fancy plastic connecter. Can I buy some 
UHMWPH locally  and use my Dremel tool to fit?

I think mine is the latest GB version. I  just got my recycled boat last 
year and all of the rigging was new.
