[Rhodes22-list] Side Stay length

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I have shredded a side stay in a brief confrontation with
a bigger boat.  I would like to order the stay and replace it
without having to lower the mast twice.  I found this in an
old email:

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.

Can anyone confirm the dimensions and that it is indeed for the
upper shrouds (I assume 27' 11 1/2") and that it is for pin to
end of threaded rod.

Thanks for any help.
