From ccowie at cowieassociates.com Sun Jun 5 19:48:58 2016 From: ccowie at cowieassociates.com (Chris Cowie) Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2016 16:48:58 -0700 (MST) Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Sailing right angles Message-ID: <1465170538557-52048.post@n5.nabble.com> I have been frustrated with not being able to sail any better than about 110-120 degrees on a close haul. I made several adjustments recently and am happy to report being able to tack in the nineties. First changed from a 180 to a 130 head sail, then lost five pounds, added a five gallon jug of water ballast forward of the v berth and tightened the aft stays. I think Phillip Rhodes did not take into account the extra motor and gas can weight most of us add to the aft end of our boats and I think the added water balast helps balance the boat. I was able to test this at low tide on the potomac River having sailed down wind toward the national mall and needing to make my way back up wind toward Alexandria va in a very narrow deep water area to re enter the channel back to my marina at the national sailing marina this past Saturday. Next trick is to replace my wooden tiller with that nice new shinny fiberglass one to make the boat go faster. If that doesn't work I will resort to more rum in memory of our great rummy. ----- Christopher P.

The Annapolis Powerboat Show is the week after. Stan is, of course, at the Sailboat Show where he is, I believe the only boat manufacturer who has exhibited at every show since its founding in 1970. It is great fun. Make your hotel reservations early (the ones closest to Annapolis fill up) and enjoy Annapolis which is a great boating town. If you've got a little extra time go across the Bay Bridge and check out the Eastern Shore which is another world.

I found,from the list, to set the center board at about 3/4 of full down also helps. I have an 86 with the standard old centerboard. I moved one battery from the lazerth (? sp.)to the location of the cabin battery next to the 15 gallon water tank, forward of the head under the V berth. I now have 2 batteries, and 15 gallons of water forward of the mast. This should be about 220 lbs, then I stored 25 ft. of chain and 300 ft. of rode in an anchor bag forward in the V berth. I estimate this is another 50 lbs. forward of the mast. I have a 6 gallon gas tank so I estimate that I need an additional 25 lbs. forward to compensate for the extra 3 gallons. I gave up on the Windex and now use tell tails for sails attached to the shrouds as my wind indicators. This is truly my guesstimate, but it seem that I can sail 35-40 degrees to the wind. I normally sail solo so less weight may be part of my gain. If the wind is above 5 to 7 knots, I just use about 100 sq ft of the 130 available on the jib. I also make sure the shrouds are firm all a round. An old sailor and former owner of a sail boat franchise once told me most people TRY to sail with TOO much sail. I try to keep that in mind. Sailing, like life seems to be a continuous learning experience. I also miss "Rummy" and his perspective on current issues of the day.

Phil Rhodes designed the boat to carry a standard mast and main with the center of force directly over a vertical centerboard. This allowed pointing at 40 deg, or even less, off the wind. When Stan put on the IMF mast, that pulled the sail plan center of force aft, requiring the centerboard to be set aft as well. The smaller size and sloppier shape of the furling main are probably the main factors. Introducing the diamond board set things right again with an IMF, at least as far as balance resulting in a neutral helm. If you look at a diamond board all the way down, it looks like a centerboard 3/4 of the way down. But still, the center of force remains too far aft for the hull design to point very high. Tilting the mast forward by putting weight forward and shortening the forestay helps some, but the foresail itself has little to do with it. Single handed, I can point at 45 deg in rare ideal conditions (a steady 10-12kt wind and no waves) with the pop top down and sitting forward in the cockpit using a 170 genny. In this perfect situation, I tack with the autohelm through 100 deg and when the boat regains speed, come back up 10 deg. The only advantage I can see with the 130 genny is better sail shape at higher wind speeds. For my money, the 170 works best in most of the situations I am comfortable sailing these days.

In my rebuild I will need to decide where to place the traveller and would like to know what you and others think the pros and cons are for various locations. Before the rebuild I installed the traveller just in front of the lazarette. That gave good purchase but the mainsheet was often in the way of the tiller and was generally awkward to handle. I wonder how well the traveller works when it is located way back on the aft stays as there would not be much downward force to flatten the mainsail. To move it up to the cabin might be a good location but I expect that the blocks would need to be beefed up on the mainsheet. Has anyone else located their traveller to aft of the cabin or have tried various locations and if so what advice might you offer? Thanks, Graham Stewart Agile.

It has to be better than my rope traveler, and I'd love one of the Stan's new travelers, but getting one isn't in the cards right now. My thinking is that having the windward sheeting car will make it very easy to control the main, and provide a vang like pull down, at least when close hauled. Currently with the POS the rope traveler I can't get the boom to stay at the centerline, much less crossing the centerline. - Curtis s/v Ruck It Havre de Grace, MD P.S. love the fact I don't have to remember to sign my posts.

(As a rule of thumb, the sheet should bisect the angle of the clew.) Of course, the smaller sail will pull better at higher wind speeds because you don't have to furl it as much. But any foresail, no matter how much it is furled, should not luff under 50 deg off the true wind.

I'm pretty sure the -270 PHRF is for the hanked up main and centerboard model. My rankings only became decent when the RC subtracted another minute; but still, the embarrassment remains of always arriving after the keg is drained. Mid-boom sheeting won't do you any good. That is for a main with the foot entirely attached to the boom. Stan's bar between the back stays would work better keeping the boom down and at the right angle. If you can race with the spinnaker fleet wing-on-wing with an asymmetric and genny, that could get you a first without the extreme handicap. It would be a $1000 pop to Doyle for an asymmetric called the UPS.

The main sheet is still the best option for de-powering in a hurry. I have one on my ?84 Continental, and I like it much better than the string or solid bar of previous iterations, but this is not a control to unload an overpowered sail. Its slow to adjust and takes some effort, especially if single handing. Nevertheless- I think the traveller is best on the backstay. I can get the boom centered and shape the sail in a number of ways with the backstay and traveler, and have much better control downwind as well. I don?t have, and don?t want an IMF! Another nice feature allows you to un-pin it and swing it out of the way if boarding from astern, or if working on the motor.

It took us a while to figure out that we are not as nimble as we once were and that every time we went out we were worried about getting beat up or we waited for perfect weather and didn't go out. We idly talked about a powerboat as a possible solution and even went to the powerboat show in Annapolis to look at options. It wasn't until we saw a Rosborough RF-246 at the Bay Bridge Boat Show this spring that we knew we had found out next boat, a 26 ft outboard powered mini-trawler. It won't be sailing but she has doors on either side of the helm position so you feel like you are on the water, great visibility, a nice cockpit and shallow draft so we can re-visit all of our favorite anchorages. The one that will be ours any day now was one of the last ones built in Nova Scotia before Bob Rosborough sold the molds and the name to Eastern Boats in New Hampshire (which is making very nice new ones.) Photos attached. We miss sailing but we will be very excited to get back out on the water. If you can stand us, we'll probably stick around here.

R22, 1976 Kingston Ontario Canada -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list [mailto:rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org] On Behalf Of Mary Lou Troy Sent: June 10, 2016 4:55 PM To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Fretless is for Sale Hi Everyone, We are selling Fretless. Fretless is a 1991 Rhodes 22 recycled by General Boats in 1998. She has the in-mast furling main with vertical batten (new 2010), Schaefer Snap Furl furler with 170 jib, Doyle UPS, semi-enclosed head and portapotty. She comes equipped with a 2007 Yamaha 8 hp electric start outboard with cockpit controls, a 2007 Triad galvanized single axle trailer, poptop enclosure, bimini and much, much more including a General Boats Certificate of Support. Fretless has cruised the Chesapeake since 1998 and is well outfitted for cruising. She is located in Rock Hall, MD and is currently on her trailer in our side yard. The attached PDF has details, an equipment list photos and a price. More about our boating plans in a separate email.

If it turns out that we love that, who knows? I think the AC will be really nice for that trip in July. Of course it only works at the dock so we may mostly marina-hop on our way north although the boat does have great ventilation and a refrigerator/freezer for cool drinks. In buying this boat we really hope to revisit all of the fabulous Chesapeake anchorages and ports that have seemed out of reach the past few years. Like the Rhodes, the boat is capable of a lot more than we are (if only in the sense of time available.) In fact, This Rossi is only 4 years old but has already been from the Chesapeake to the East coast of Florida. Others have cruised the New England coast, done the Great Loop including the Great Lakes and cruised the Pacific Northwest. We always said that you could sail the Chesapeake for 40 years and never hit all the wonderful places and anchorages along its shores. We certainly didn't in 20 years of cruising first on the Com-Pac 16 and then on the Rhodes 22. Part of the issue was, of course, that some were so wondeerful, you just wanted to go back again and again. The new boat will be a little faster than a sailboat so we may range further afield. The other thing is that we're not planning on giving up any of our other toys so we still will want to devote time to kayaking (the new boat will be a good platform for that), the travel trailer (we might do a few less music festival than we did last year but probably only by one or two) and taking the trailer (and the kayaks) to Florida for a few weeks in the winter and elsewhere in the summer. On the other hand we are hoping to give at least a few hours of work. And we will stick around the Rhodes list. Fretless was a big part of our lives. We'll miss (and have missed) sailing so I'll get my online fix here and of course we do still have friends with sailboats.

I should know this as I removed the rub rail about 5 years ago and now that I am reconstructing the join I have forgotten what was there. I looks to me like the hull and deck were attached with rivets spaced about every three feet while the aluminium rub rail track was then installed with screws about every 8 inches. Is this correct or was the rub rail also riveted? I really miss having a memory. Graham Stewart Agile.

I'm in Richmond and have been looking for my Rhodes for close to a year now. I'd love to get more pics of the boat and trailer along with any other details you can share. ohecht at earthlink.net. Also, it's hard to tell from the picture, but is that a steering wheel for the "cockpit steering" you mentioned? How did you rig that up, and I assume it's just for the motor and not the rudder itself...is that right? Thanks!

That is very helpful and confirms what I thought was the construction of the hull-deck join. Of course every answer leads to another question: Did you replace the track or just the insert? Why did you switch from rivets to screws? As I understand it, the track and the rivets are integral to the strength of the join and I would worry that screws might work their way out while rivets are much less likely to. I destroyed the aluminium track on my boat in the process of removing it so I have to start from scratch with a new rail and at this point am inclined towards the Tessilmare Radial Flexible Rub Rail (see http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=56893 ). It consists of a flexible track that and a PVC bumper cover. I thought I would use the same method of installation as on the boat originally - attaching the track with rivets or possibly even bolts if I can't find the rivets. Does anyone know what rivets are used now for this purpose. I am thinking that 3/16 aluminium rivets with a grip of about .6" and a flat or countersink head looks about right but would very much appreciate having this confirmed or corrected.

The aluminum rail was corroded and on the list for replacement anyway, but all that fiberglass work was not on the list. Repairs are complete and the boat will be launched as soon as I get a few parts for the motor - on back order. I have no worries about screws removing themselves, I hit each screw with a touch of silicone prior to installation and there are more than 100 of them, so if and when the hull separates from the deck, I?ll be separated from this lifetime. Screws are much easier. The rail you showed looks nice. I like the two color one though. Stan has been using a different one with a red insert and black base. It looks great and Stan has the insert but not the base. By the time I bought things separately, it would have cost $400, so I opted for the less expensive solution. It looks pretty good .

Jamestown distributors, Defender and others carry it. I paid $209 for it. Pay attention to the screw length,head size and tightness. You need a shorter SS screw than those supplied with a very flat head. Do not over tighten or the rubber will compress.

I've mounted it stb side coaming to the top of the tiller, which is close enough to level, and 18" forward of the pintels. Had to add 8" of extension rods to make it long enough.

Second: The trailer is the custom built Triad Rhodes 22 model. ei. no adjustments other than extending the v shaped bow cushion arm that the stem is snug into. When the boat was last loaded it appears to have been pulled up toop far on the trailer. First, the tongue weight appeared really heavy based on the effort needed to crank up the swivel wheel and the load when hitched to a large tow vehicle. Second, the forward end of the long bunks was denting the hull on both sides. I put a temporary cross piece in about 6 feet aft of the bow and jacked up several inches to take the load there in order to pop the dents back out. I have since launched the boat for the season but need to figure out how to set up the trailer better before reloading this fall. If I extend to v shaped cushion arm out all the way I can move the boat about 6-8" farther back on the trailer. That will help some, as the hull will be a little thinner and less weight will be forward of the bunks. But I don't think that will be enough. Plus, when I look at the trailer, I'm surprised that ALL the weight is on those two long bunks. There is nothing under the keel, nor under the bow section.

I would look into what maintenance is needed. On the other hand, if you don't do much towing brakes may be unnecessary depending on the tow vehicle that you use. It is possible that the tongue jack needs to be greased if it seems unreasonably difficult to use. The weight on the tongue should be about 10 to 15% of the total weight of the trailer and boat. Depending on what you have on board that could easily add up to well over 3000 pounds so the tongue weight could be pretty substantial. There are ways to weigh the tongue using bathroom scales. If your scales do not go that high you can use a lever arrangement to calculate the weight (see https://www.etrailer.com/faq-how-to-determine-trailer-tongue-weight.aspx ) Weigh the tongue when the boat is on it and if it is within range, about 300 to 400 pounds, leave it alone. If it is off significantly you can adjust the placement of the boat or also redistribute the weight in the boat. Very small adjustments can make a big difference to the tongue weight. Don't put the boat back further on the trailer to lighten the tongue weight below 10% of the total weight. In that situation you can generate very severe and dangerous sway. Watch carefully how the trailer tows especially as you gain speed. If you see any sign of sway slow down until you can move the boat forward. Sway can kill you. Personally, I have found that the problem is to get the boat far enough forward. The indentations on the hull by the forward struts of the bunks is apparently "normal" in older boats. On my boat (76) the indentations appear to be permanent. I jacked the bow up for two years and the indentations remained. When I stripped the hull of antifouling paint I found a lattice work of hairline cracks in the gel coat. Still, the boat is now 40 years old so I probably should not worry about it. Newer boats have thicker hulls and so the problem has apparently been lessened. I don't know when this change occurred but Stan can tell you. Whether the indentations remain once the boat is in the water and whether it really makes a difference anyway is a matter that has been debated on this forum without resolution. Personally, I have considered reinforcing that section of the hull after I launch the boat. Hopefully the indents will disappear first but I doubt it. The boat rests on the bunks alone. There is no support needed or desirable under the keel. You don't want to damage the centerboard housing/keel. I did and it is a very difficult fix to perform. I would not advise making changes to the trailer other than fixing the brakes. These trailers have been used with the Rhodes 22 for many decades and have stood the test of time. Good luck Graham Stewart Agile.

This photo shows improper loading too far back, from the first time I pulled her out last fall. Insufficient tongue weight and scary sway at speeds less then 50 mph resulted. It also would teeter totter when I climbed the swim ladder. A delivery photo shows the single axle centered close to the grab rail, behind the aft portlight. When I tried to duplicate that it was heavy on the tongue jack, bending it some when I tried to move it in the drive like my little boat. The boat trailered ok over 60 mph with the explorer. I cannot imagine my hull oil canning on this boat. Perhaps others have tricks when ramp loading? I had to circle around and adjust the boat when I pulled out for my aborted 'cruise' this spring, but it did drive much better so at least it was a successful test transport.

I have experienced a mishmash of trailers including a single axle Traid, a double axle Traid and several others. Mishaps included burnt-out bearings, shredded tires, broken bunks, rusted brakes and unbalanced loads. As a rule-of-thumb I always carry a spare set of bearings, a spare tail-light wiring harness, spare tail-light bulbs, spare tire (or 2) and a trailer jack. I usually load the boat with a space of about 8" to 10" from the V-shaped cushion (it should not be right up against it) and I strap the boat to the trailer with tie-downs. Its nice to have trailer brakes, but I am equally comfortable without them....it's not a huge load.

I have never in 23 years of having a Rhodes and a triad trailer been able to load the boat far enough forward to have too much tongue weight. I usually float boat as far firward on trailer as possible and the act of hauling her out the boat loads back a little. If I don't snug her tight enough to the V cushion she will end up with negative tongue weight. After haul out the V cushion slides out to the boat to stabilize during transit.

My rule of thumb is to get the rear of the rear most port over the axle. I too, have never had a problem getting the boat too far forward. Now too far back can be dangerous as was pointed out.

Thanks so much as there is lots of good info here. I wish I had taken better pictures of the boat on the trailer. From the couple that I have, it looks like the aft port is slightly forward of the axle, despite the ability to move the boat even further forward...should one desire, by collapsing the v cushion arm even more forward. I think I noticed in Alex's photo that his v cushion arm is slid forward already. So that's kinda strange. So I'm thinking, for whatever reason, that I should try loading it with the port over the axle this fall. Maybe our bow uprights are slightly different?? Does this link to google photos work? https://goo.gl/photos/RDXVJDL71S2htQNC8 Here is the temporary bunk I used to pop the dent out: https://goo.gl/photos/YRudZFZBtwnp1QAw9 . This also shows how extended the bow v cushion is already, in comparison to Alex's I'm thinking there was abouts 500lbs on the tonque, and yes my trailer swivel need replacement. Also I have a new 9.9 Susuki with all options hanging off the back...heavy motor. But not much gear in the boat. I found a pretty cool way to mount the engine controls under the port cockpit seat and could share my autopilot installation, if anybody is interested.

Even better with close ups of the bunks, bunk supports, the ?V? shape 2 x 6s. On my new purchase, there are two parallel and sloped 2 x 6s for the area under the keel. I don?t know how these play into structural support or if they are only there to guide the boat onto the trailer at retrieval.

That way you can winch the boat as far forward as possible while it is in the water. Note that as the boat trailer comes up the ramp the back of the boat drops as it comes out of the water and this put considerable strain on the boat where the front struts on the trailer are ( the spot with the dents). I pull the boat forward enough that it is stuck in place and then reduce the tension of the winch so that the boat levels out normally as it comes up the ramp. Graham Stewart Agile.

Thanks for calling this 'fairly well loaded' Rob. I think it was actually too far back, with the scary sway I described. The bow V cradle couldn't reach the bow for support. T It sounds like I should move the V cradle forward and try to bring the boat close to it when loading, since it will fall back when the stern stops floating. Six more inches of keel forward of the axle makes a huge difference in weight distribution. I also seem to have trouble with the bow eyelet snagging on the spare tire when it is positioned correctly, until it is deep enough to finally float free. My prior sailboat trailer experience is my 500# buccaneer (won't drive on but can be re-positioned on the hard), plus a friend's skiboats. At least I won't have to worry about the outdrive failing in the down position. ----- Alex Cole S/V Lark -- View this message in context: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/Triad-Trailer-brakes-and-adjustments-tp52121p52145.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I know it needs to be pulled forward for launch and haul-out, but I thought it kept the boat in place over bumps and hard braking.

I too had problems with the spare tire getting in the way, so I removed it and found a way to mount it on the side of the trailer. Now I can get the boat forward enough. Rob -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list [mailto:rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org] On Behalf Of S/V Lark Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 1:00 PM To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Triad Trailer brakes and adjustments Amazing, a full diagram pops up within hours of the question, before I could take a photo of mine sitting in the weeds. Thanks for calling this 'fairly well loaded' Rob. I think it was actually too far back, with the scary sway I described. The bow V cradle couldn't reach the bow for support. T It sounds like I should move the V cradle forward and try to bring the boat close to it when loading, since it will fall back when the stern stops floating. Six more inches of keel forward of the axle makes a huge difference in weight distribution. I also seem to have trouble with the bow eyelet snagging on the spare tire when it is positioned correctly, until it is deep enough to finally float free. My prior sailboat trailer experience is my 500# buccaneer (won't drive on but can be re-positioned on the hard), plus a friend's skiboats. At least I won't have to worry about the outdrive failing in the down position. ----- Alex Cole S/V Lark -- View this message in context: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/Triad-Trailer-brakes-and-adjustments-tp52121p52145.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __________________________________________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe go to http://www.rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-list For the list Charter and help with using the mailing list and archives go to http://www.rhodes22.org/list __________________________________________________ From rlowe at vt.edu Fri Jun 17 14:54:04 2016 From: rlowe at vt.edu (Lowe, Rob) Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:54:04 +0000 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] New topics get new sublet lines Message-ID: Talbot, Yes, post as a new thread!

A pic is attached. Stan told me recently that GB is developing a new style motor mount/lift that should be ready soon. He hinted that it is completely different design. When my dad owned the boat, my in-laws kept their Catalina 22 at the same dock. I always liked their spring loaded Garelick mount better than the block & tackle GB idea. I have seen big improvements on the GB version over the years but have no first hand experience. I?ve seen and heard the electric version operate, and don?t like it. I prefer a low tech manual operation. Garelick makes one with a 15? travel, so its on the radar, and/but I?m waiting for Stan to announce the new design. For this season I?m stuck with what I have. it does work. Ric sv Dadventure Hampton Bays > On Jun 23, 2016, at 12:54 PM, Michael D.

I'm posting on his behalf. This looks like an earlier version. I'm not sure how he raises it. Guess a grab and yank technique. There have been various motor mount styles over the years. The one like Richards at some point was replace by a pulley system that used several pulleys and a pull rope to achieve a 7 to 1 advantage. A big improvement over the grab and yank technique. The newest mount uses electrically operated winch with the winch being mounted in the laz and the winch strap running through the stern and over the mount to the mounting plate. A simple push on the switch raises or lowers the engine. That's what is on my 1998 and I love it!

Finally getting mine the way I want it. Looks like it will be my boat for many years and last step will be to hook up the Tiller Pilot. Had one previously and loved it. Hasn't been a priority because last year, with a hanked-on small jib, boat sailed it self so well (on a reach) just locking the tiller - it would go for 10 or 15 minutes. Now that I've gone to a 130 furling jib it seems to have lost that feature and wanders off in less than a minute. Because I single hand frequently I also want the auto-tacking feature. Anyway, welcome to a great group with tons of info via the nice search feature.

Then I noticed, when on stbd, there was a "Trimline" on the sail right above the clew. When I moved car fwd until sheet angled up to clew at same angle as "Trimline" on sail, I noticed all 3 levels of tell tails on jib started fluttering at the same time. I read up and seems the trimline gets you in the ball park and the tell tails all fluttering at same time is proof that it's "right".

Of course Tara at slow speeds is still doing 6-8 knots. The Yamaha 115 seems awfully quiet for the amount of horsepower and fortunately, the outboard is a long way from the helm station. And if you close the doors to the cockpit, it's even quieter. The thing I will miss the most, other than the sailing on glorious days, is the closeness to the water from the Rhodes cockpit. One good thing about the Rossi is that there are doors on either side of the cabin next to the helmsman's and mate's seats so that there is still that sense of being close to the water. And thanks for the compliments about my writing. I've always tried to be helpful and clear. Glad to know I've succeeded at least some of the time. And look for us on the water. The Choptank is a favorite destination.

You will never get the boat completely forward to the point where the bow touches the bow pad while it is retracted - and shouldn't try. The boat seems to find its own place. Make sure the bunks are wet and submerged when you retrieve the boat. I back the trailer into the water to the point where the forward tips of the bunks are at the surface of the water. When you move the boat onto the trailer the bunks will stop the boat. The boat will not go any further and will be in the correct position. It takes herculean effort to move is any further and that is neither warranted or desirable. The winch strap will hold the boat in place while you exit the ramp. You should put the strap on the bow eye and winch it in so that it is snug and once the boat is on the level release the winch, move the bow pad back to touch the bow, and then snug the winch strap again. The bow will raise up when you release the strap but the boat will not move back. The strap should be snug without slack but not under heavy tension. It the tongue weight is too light you probably should move things forward on the boat before you try drastic actions placing the boat on the trailer. You might also move the motor off the stern if it is particularly heavy. Your short trip of a few miles at low speed to the launch reflects the same situation that applies to me. I don't worry about it at all. If I were traveling at highway speeds over a greater distance I would check the tongue weight. The potential of sway increases dramatically with speed. At low speed you will not even notice. At high speed sway can literally drag your tow vehicle off the road. Graham Stewart Agile.

When I hauled in 2004 I neglected to rinse the brakes. I didn't launch in 2005 because of the birth of my younger son. By spring of 2006, the brakes were rusted beyond ability to function, indeed almost beyond recognition. I had no choice other than to repair. My trip to the ramp was about 40 miles, much of it on the highway, and with a small tow vehicle. I replaced them with either the 10" or 12" "galvex" brake kits from Champion Trailer Parts Supply http://www.championtrailers.com/ You could tell which by measuring your current drums. As best I can recall, they were 4 bolts on the end of each axle. While I was at it, I also replaced the brake lines (because I stepped on one) and added a fresh water flushing kit (in hopes of keeping this set longer). It seemed to work. It's not at all difficult if you are even a bit handy. If you are not that handy, do you know someone who is?

Two things kept the boat on its trailer in my yard longer than expected. First, about a month ago I managed to lose my balance and fall off the boat, breaking my collar-bone when I hit the ground. Second, we hope to use the boat for cruising - voyages of up to a week long. This would require bringing along a lot of ?stuff?, so some thought and effort went into figuring out where to put all of this ?stuff?. And, of course, having a broken collar-bone slowed this project down a bit. I?m sure I picked up many nuggets of inspiration for all this in the trolling through the list archives that I did over the winter. And Kim and I have both read Mary Lou?s chapter in ?Sailing Small? several times, so some ideas for provisioning have doubtless come from there as well. Anyway, making YouTube videos is just something I do now, so there?s a video about some of the storage solutions we?ve come up with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXNDjEH-MYg The next project is becoming better and more confident sailors. Practice, practice, practice, I figure. It?s going to be a long summer. In case anyone is wondering, the location of the video is Pine Island Marina in Groton, CT.

I originally had a support under the keel p-laced there by a previous owner and the keel developed serious cracking that might have been caused by the boat bouncing on its keel. That was a hell of a fix. I have attached a picture of a trailer which someone posted and is identical to mine. I have also attached the dimension diagram that shows the exact position of the axel in relation to the frame.

The photo that Graham included: http://rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/attachments/20160629/59e4a8a3/attachment.jpg does have the (my words) the guide boards and keel support boards. My Triad trailer has both and I believe both are necessary. The keel support boards (in my experience) keep the keel vertical and the boat positioned properly when transporting. Before I replaced all of my boards, the keel support boards rotten, broke, and provided no lateral support. During transport, my whole boat rotated a couple of degrees and ended up cockeyed on the trailer because there was nothing to prevent the keel from moving. I believe those boards are needed for that reason. As far as the guide boards, they greatly aid in loading the boat if used correctly. I always had a devil of a time getting my boat positioned correctly on the trailer when pulling the boat. I'd get it cockeyed and even once had the keel rest on top of the keel support board, which broke it. I learned from discussion on this list (might have even been from Stan), that is you leave the centerboard down when loading it's a piece of cake. The centerboard will center the boat up using the guide boards and then centerboard will lift up when it hits the roller on the trailer. Now all you have to do it winch the boat up into position. You must remember to then pull up and secure the centerboard. You don't want the centerboard unsecured during transport and certainly not when putting it. I can load perfectly every time now. I believe Stan does it this way and he actually will motor up on to the trailer. I don't have the courage to try this but he swears by it.

We've had two Triad trailers - both built for General Boats and to their specifications. One was an older painted trailer, the other a newer galvanized trailer. On each, the keel/centerboard (a "diamond board") rested lightly on the roller (which also helped swing the centerboard up when loading the boat) but the weight of the boat rested mostly on the bunks. Never noticed any deformation in the hull.

I would not put a jack under the keel given the inordinate amount of time I spent fixing it last year. My plan is to reinforce the hull with layers of roving and mat in the area of the strut but obviously I don't want to do that while it is deformed. I have removed the floor stringers and boards as part of my reconstruction and also removed the internal bulkheads and compression post. So I currently have unobstructed access to the hull. I thought I might launch the boat to see if the deformation changes before I add the additional stiffening layers of cloth but until I put in the floor structure and bulkhead I can't reinstall the compression post and without that I can't sail the boat. Leaving the interior reconstruction for a season would not be terrible but I would sure hate to do that if I can't sail. So I seem to be caught in a conundrum. The other alternative is to just live with it as is. This is when being a compulsive sort is a real pain in the ass. Graham Stewart Agile.

The other was new 2007. both had the same configurration: rollers on the crosspieces, vertical guides/stabilizers on either side of the keel (these guide the keel as the boat is loading onto the trailer) and bunks to carry most if not all of the weight of the boat. The bunks match the angle of the hull where it rests on the bunks - they are not on a swivel but they do bow out under the weight of the boat. . the keel guides are parallel to the keel for the first 4-6 ft and then flare out towards the out edges - actually separate pieces of wood to guide the boat to the center of the trailer. I've attached a photo of Fretless on her trailer that shows the bunks fairly well. It's a large photo so you can blow it up and really take a look at it. If it doesn't come through, I'll send a smaller version and the larger one to you off list. Fretless has the diamondboard centerboard and is a 1991 R22.

Stan said that he had seen it in several boats and not to worry about it at delivery. I never was concerned and it did not become an issue. The hull did not "undent" when launched. I always thought that the hull had been too "soft" when it was initially placed on the trailer, molding the glass and gel coat due to stress. In 1981, the hulls were built in Canada and transported to Stan's factory on Long Island, presumably on a Triad trailer. Possibly several hulls were shipped one inside another, placing a fair amount of weight on the bottom one. Further to the questions about keel support. Please do not support or jack a Rhodes 22 from the keel. I have seen too many boats that have required extensive repairs as a result. If you need to lift, winch using the forward or stern eyes and a substantial frame. I lift my boat off the trailer for bottom painting each year using 4x4 framing and an 8,000 lb comealong. Large pieces of wood should be used in the stern if the boat is placed on jacks, to spread out the load. The best storage system is a Triad trailer. As far as the trailer is concerned, the only support is from the bunks. The V-shaped frame in the rear is to guide the boat onto the trailer. The two boards that are parallel to and on either side of the keel are to center the keel. The roller at the rear is to lift the centerboard which may be used to guide the boat on to the trailer during recovery. The centerboard and rudder should be in the fully up position during launch and transport to avoid damage. Remember to lift and secure all stern items (rudder & motor) before hauling the trailer out of the water. Yes, that is the voice of experience you hear.

I always pull the diamond board all the way up when trailering to preserve the roller. When I replaced my bunk boards that were rotting, Stan told me to be sure the keel guides supported the weight of the boat.

Then the bolts are only loosely tightened to hold the boards in place while the boat is gently dropped onto the trailer. After the boat has settled, the bolts will be close to the inner ends of the slots and should be tightened.

When the Rhodes was offered to me I had a Bristol 27 but I wanted the Rhodes also and it was free. My lovely wife of 30 years "explained" to me that I was mistaken and I didn?t really want the Rhodes. However my best friend was looking for a boat so the Rhodes was given to him. So long story short I have a Rhodes in the extended family. I have been an avid reader of the list since the Rhodes came into the family 4 years ago. I am posting today for the first time because I am hoping that a fellow list member has a old school hank on jib that they would like to sell. I enjoy the list immensely and look forward to all of your reply's Dave Bay Shore NY -----Original Message----- From: Rick Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 1:16 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Triad Trailer brakes and adjustments I guess it is more accurate to say the "keel guides", as ML calls them, support the keel box around the keel rather than the actual keel.
