This is another procedure wherein you are put under and they make an incision in the right groin. They insert a catheter-like probe into the large vein in the groin and snake it back up the circulatory system into the heart. They also insert an X-Ray emitting probe down the windpipe to where the bronchial tubes split off to each lung. On the operating table, you are lying on top of a solid state X-Ray imaging plate. This gives the surgical team a real time image of the heart so they can tell where their probe is inside the heart. Inside the heart, the surgical team will search for any congenital defects like a hole between the chambers, heart valve problems, plaque build-up in the arteries, infection of the heart muscle, and even malignant tumors. The probe also has a sensitive pressure sensor which they will use to map the performance of each chamber of the heart as it beats. Some of these high tech medical procedures sound like overhauling your car engine while it?s in the car and running! Some issues they can fix immediately and other issues will require open heart surgery, which would have to be scheduled in the future. This is supposed to be a 1 day in & out procedure. But, during the February cardiac ablation, which is a similar laparoscopic procedure, the X-Ray probe tore my windpipe causing them to keep me overnight. I was coughing up blood for a week!

I was promptly accused by an employee of GB of trying to subvert $$ away from GB through my evil corporate machinations. Mike Wiesner (sp?) intervened and they apologised. I'm sure the whole drama is in the archives. Moving on from that, here are the links for the video of the furler tensioner mounted on the boat and how it works: https://youtu.be/wwsH9xFgWYU https://youtu.be/NQTuE34GOKE All the metal parts on it are 316 ss. Each side of the tensioner rollers have a set screw to change the tension on the line. The initial set up takes a few minutes to get the tension the way you want it, but allows for a range of line sizes. I started with a 3/16" diameter line in it then changed to 1/4". It only took a few minutes to change the tension on the rollers to accommodate the larger line size. One change that will be implemented in the final iteration is to add a spring under the set screw on one side so the tensioner can be pushed open with your fingers to allow easier insertion of the line during rigging if you trailer sail like I do. I talked to my machinist friend and he's still interested in making some for you all. He's working on a price. He's retired and machining is a hobby for him so he responds kinda slowly.

Some years ago I had a heart attack followed by a catheterization which disclosed multiple blocked arteries and led to open heart surgery. Then some months after that I had additional chest discomfort (never the "classic" chest pains) and went back to the hospital for another cardiac catheterization . In doing the probe, the cardiologist inadvertently dislodged a piece of plaque which migrated through my vascular system and resulted in a brain stem stroke. My vision was messed up for about a year, but finally came back. The body is amazing and modern medicine can do wonders, but sometimes bad things happen. You are wise to postpone your trip. I am a relatively new Rhodes 22 owner, and stand in awe of you and others on the List. My boat "Silver Bay" is docked in Onekama, Michigan on Portage Lake, which is about 125 miles from Midland. If you would like to go sailing with us this summer, you would be very welcome. We are fully vaccinated. My wife and I actually live in Morgantown, West Virginia, and will be going to our "Up North" house the third week of June, with a tentative launch date of June 21. We had problems with the IMF last summer (as Jesse Shumaker knows from when he visited in the fall and helped us) but hopefully they will be resolved. If you are interested in visiting and sailing on Silver Bay, you can email me at bobfcohen at gmail.com to work out details. I hope things are going well in your three-day stay which starts today and that the cardiac cath procedure on June 10 will be successful and bring your A-fib back under control. Bob Cohen -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2021 1:47 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Apostle Islands High Adventure Trip Cancelled Hi All, As many of you know; my two sons, brother-in-law, and I were going to take a grand circle tour of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in July, 2021. This was going to be a sailing/beach camping/sea kayaking trip. We were going to use our Rhodes 22 as the mother ship and tow the 4 sea kayaks in order to cover the miles between islands. The sea kayaks would be used to explore the sea caves, sea stacks, and sea arches on the many uninhabited islands in the Apostle Islands archipelago. We were going to back country beach camp on 3 different uninhabited islands. These High Adventure Trips are a family tradition dating back almost 22 years. We do something different every year. There is an article in the Rhodes 22 archives about another High Adventure Sailing Trip to Garden Island in the middle of Lake Michigan many years ago. I had my second cardiac ablation in February, 2021 and was working hard on my cardiac rehab. Unfortunately, my cardiac issues are not getting better. I recently spent most of a day in A-Fib and tachycardia (rapid heat beat). Apparently, my cardiac arrhythmia medication, Metoprolol, isn't working for me anymore. So, on June 1st, I'm scheduled for a 3 day stay in the Cardiac Unit at Midland Hospital. They are going to hook me up to cardiac monitors and try a new drug called Tikosyn. They will try to establish an appropriate dose for me that stops the A-Fib without stopping my heart. Then, on June 10th, I'm scheduled to go back to the Invasive Procedures Unit at the Midland Hospital for a cardiac catheterization procedure. This is another procedure wherein you are put under and they make an incision in the right groin. They insert a catheter-like probe into the large vein in the groin and snake it back up the circulatory system into the heart. They also insert an X-Ray emitting probe down the windpipe to where the bronchial tubes split off to each lung. On the operating table, you are lying on top of a solid state X-Ray imaging plate. This gives the surgical team a real time image of the heart so they can tell where their probe is inside the heart. Inside the heart, the surgical team will search for any congenital defects like a hole between the chambers, heart valve problems, plaque build-up in the arteries, infection of the heart muscle, and even malignant tumors. The probe also has a sensitive pressure sensor which they will use to map the performance of each chamber of the heart as it beats. Some of these high tech medical procedures sound like overhauling your car engine while it's in the car and running! Some issues they can fix immediately and other issues will require open heart surgery, which would have to be scheduled in the future. This is supposed to be a 1 day in & out procedure. But, during the February cardiac ablation, which is a similar laparoscopic procedure, the X-Ray probe tore my windpipe causing them to keep me overnight. I was coughing up blood for a week! So, in a nutshell, this is going to be experimental surgery to try to figure out what's wrong with me. It will be a different doctor, which I requested in order to get a second opinion. It wasn't easy to get our medical insurance to approve this; but, I insisted. in my present condition, I just don't feel comfortable going to a remote area like the Apostle Islands. I would need to be able to paddle my sea kayak 3-4 miles on Lake Superior without passing out and I'm not confident in my ability to do that. Emergency medical care, if it could be summoned at all, would be hours away. We all still have those days in July off. If I'm feeling better by then, we may try to do something less strenuous and closer to home. Everyone is really disappointed; but, they completely support my decision. There's always next year, right? I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday weekend. I had a COVID-19 test on Friday and Deb & I are quarantined until I go into the hospital next Tuesday. Stay tuned. Please keep me in your prayers.

Peter, S/V Silver Heels experienced scenario #1 from my previous post. If Allyn?s boat experienced the same issue; then, we may have a problem area. We might want to warn the whole Rhodes list to inspect the toggle joints on the top of their forestays. From your U-Tube video, your failure looked like a chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. Such failures are common with 300 series stainless steel alloys in a salt water environment. They can be early detected by dye penetrant, magnaflux, or ultrasonic testing. Dye penetrant would be the easiest for the average boat owner. All boats that sail on salt water would be subject to this issue.

I measured the forestay, and the wire only is 27' 8-1/4" and with the fittings (from the top of where the toggle joint should be to the bottom of the top threaded part that goes into the turnbuckle) is 27' 11-1/2". I looked online and found one place that said it was 27' and another 25'6". I measured both of the dimensions twice. Does anyone have the dimensions of what this should be? Someone I know recommended sta-lok, but the smallest I can find the toggle joint is for 5/32" wire and not 1/8". Is there another option, or should I look at the 5/32" option? I don't have a swaging tool.

Peter, S/V Silver Heels experienced scenario #1 from my previous post. If Allyn?s boat experienced the same issue; then, we may have a problem area. We might want to warn the whole Rhodes list to inspect the toggle joints on the top of their forestays. From your U-Tube video, your failure looked like a chloride stress cracking fatigue failure.

But, instead of the threads at the toggle joint, this one failed at the bottom of the terminal where it was swaged onto the stainless steel wire cable. Was there anything still attached to the masthead casting? Like maybe the rest of the terminal and toggle joint? This could be the same issue as Allyn and Peter?s boats experienced except at the bottom instead of the top of the terminal. Or, it could be a failure of the swaged connection. If you still have the rest of the terminal, could you send a close-up of the swaged joint that failed?

The towing distance to my launch ramp was short and low speed. We currently tow with a Toyota Sienna AWD minivan, which has a 3500 lb tow rating. It does just fine. I highly recommend AWD.

I joined the list right after you took a break but the information you provided on the owner's list and in the archives has been truly invaluable. Glad to have you back and hope you stick around. You're an engineer and rely on data but when something like this happens it's hard to separate emotion from logic. Probably won't put your mind at ease, but less than 1% of cardiac caths result in any complications, and serious complications are less than .05%. Nevertheless, excellent idea to cancel this year's trip. Best of luck!

This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing.

In-Reply-To: References: , , Message-ID: I just thought of a couple more things. I'm pretty sure the mast was dropped at one point, because the pop top was broken when I bought it. I've fiberglassed that back together. I've noticed a couple times that the mast may not look straight - it's pretty close, and I convince myself it's an optical illusion. It seems to hook back an inch or so part way up the mast. We had a cherry picker at the boat club last weekend, so I went up there to look at the top of the mast where the toggle fork failed. Looking down the mast, I believe I could see it hook backwards slightly, and that may be why my mainsail has never furled well. I have to pull down on the clew pretty hard to get the mail to furl. I do not see any damage, e.g. dents or otherwise, to the mast, and it doesn't appear torqued. I have no idea what the previous owner did as far as changing out any standing rigging, but maybe something broke a while ago and didn?t get the lengths quite right. -----Original Message----- From: Allyn Baskerville Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 10:02 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: RE: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top?

Message-ID: Last post for the night. We've been wanting to take the Rhodes somewhere this summer, and we were wondering if there were any other events like the Texas 200. I just learned about that, and it's probably too late to sign up, plus I don't think my boat will be ready to sail by then because of the forestay breaking. We live in Oklahoma, so that location would be ideal, plus I'd like to get out in the gulf. Our little lake is a circle with about a 9 mile circumference. We have close to 0 experience sailing in the ocean - I've been out with my son (lives north of Miami, FL) a couple times on his Bayfield 32, but that's been it. Is it too risky to pull the Rhodes to Miami and sail to the Bahamas? What about sailing around the Florida mini-loop? I've been working on a project that I think will be useful for some trips like these. I recently installed a depth transducer, a radio with AIS receiver, and a VHF antenna on the top of my mast that supports AIS. I have a wireless NMEA 0183 multiplexor that still needs installing (sitting in a closet), and I need to purchase and install a GPS antenna with the NMEA interface. This won't take long to wrap up, but ultimately it will connect to my iPad running Navionics. I think it should work, and this has been a fun project to design. We have a lot of projects going on at the house, so I work on this when I can (meaning early weekend mornings). Is there any other electronics or hardware that I need to consider? The boat is pretty basic - no frills, and I don't have the mast crutch or winch yet, but that will happen soon. Good night all.

Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it.

For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake.

We spent a couple of months sailing all over the islands. The Rhodes handled it all. Though we go to the Bahamas every winter (covid excepted) I think I would enjoy doing it in the Rhodes as much as in our larger boat. Get to know your boat first, and build your sailing skills, then do the ?big? trip. Sailing the bays and inter coastal waterways is a fine way to learn sailing.

In-Reply-To: References: , , , Message-ID: Allyn, Remind me again, does your R-22 have IMF? S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a conventional mainsail. The IMF mainsail does not have battens and less roach vs. a conventional mainsail. A mainsail is not a triangle. If you were to draw a line from the head to the clew, you would find a conventional mainsail has some sail area aft of this line and an IMF mainsail has almost none. In other words, an IMF mainsail is closer to a pure triangle vs. a conventional mainsail. This ?extra? sail area is called roach. IMF mainsails don?t have the battens which are necessary to support the extra sail area in the roach, so they can?t have much roach. All else being equal, this lack of roach moves the center of effort (CE) of an IMF mainsail slightly forward vs. a conventional mainsail. This would mean the mast needs to be tilted slightly more aft on an IMF rig to balance the weather helm/lee helm balance. So, if you have IMF, your longer forestay measurement makes sense. Believe your tape measure, especially if you?ve measured it several times and gotten the same result. The real question is, do you like your boat?s present weather helm/lee hem balance? If you would like less weather helm, shorten the forestay. More weather helm, lengthen the forestay. Shortening the forestay by 3.5 inches would significantly reduce your weather helm. You probably have more backstay adjustment than you think. Remember, you also have the double backstay adjuster rigging, which has a range of at least 12 inches. As long as the slack double backstays are long enough to step the mast and hook up the forestay pin to the bow chain plate, the double backstay adjuster will take up whatever slack remains. Another thing to consider ? How long is your CDI furling tube? If you shortened the forestay by 3.5 inches, would the furling tube be too long? You might consider shortening the forestay until the upper end of the furling tube just clears the toggle joint at the masthead. That would be the best you can do to reduce weather helm without modifying your furling tube.

Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm.

Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range.

Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. > > It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake.

The starter batter would be easy to relocate starboard, but the other two won't be that easy. What have you all done, if anything? I love looking at the pictures that have been posted of the boat remodels. Some are simply amazing, and I've downloaded many pictures since joining this list.

In-Reply-To: References: , , , Message-ID: Allyn, OK, the best way to check if the mast is bent is to stretch a line taut along the length of the mast. Any bend will be visible as a gap between the line and the mast. A conventional mainsail rig can use the main halyard as this line. On an IMF mainsail rig, you will have to tie a line to the masthead casting somehow. If you find any bend, you will have to ask Stan how much bend is acceptable and if the bend can be safely removed. My guess is, if the bend is beyond acceptable limits; then, you probably won?t be able to fix it. The reason the mast probably won?t be repairable has to do with how the mast is made. Our masts are made by extrusion from 7071 T6 aluminum alloy. After extrusion, this alloy has to be heat treated to make it stiff. But, the heat treatment process also causes the alloy to be susceptible to cold work hardening and embrittlement. If the final mast extrusion has been bent by an impact loading, the impact site will be cold work hardened. Bending it back will probably crack it.

I just thought of a couple more things. I'm pretty sure the mast was dropped at one point, because the pop top was broken when I bought it. I've fiberglassed that back together. I've noticed a couple times that the mast may not look straight - it's pretty close, and I convince myself it's an optical illusion. It seems to hook back an inch or so part way up the mast. We had a cherry picker at the boat club last weekend, so I went up there to look at the top of the mast where the toggle fork failed. Looking down the mast, I believe I could see it hook backwards slightly, and that may be why my mainsail has never furled well. I have to pull down on the clew pretty hard to get the mail to furl. I do not see any damage, e.g. dents or otherwise, to the mast, and it doesn't appear torqued. I have no idea what the previous owner did as far as changing out any standing rigging, but maybe something broke a while ago and didn?t get the lengths quite right. -----Original Message----- From: Allyn Baskerville Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 10:02 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: RE: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm.

But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway.

I like this. I've spent time trying to figure out where to put larger solar cells, but there isn't much room - maybe on the pop top, but I can't quite figure out how to get the wires run. One of the cleats on the boom will scrape across the pop top, so that might damage the solar cell. I've thought about drilling a hole in my mast, so that I can raise the boom up a few more inches, but I've not done that yet. The clear protective covering on the surface of the solar cells looks pretty bad - cracked, etc. But I'm still getting 13.5-13.6V on a sunny day. The solar and batteries don't seem to be setup properly - both house batteries and both solar cells are wired in parallel. I'd expect one to be run back to the starter battery.

It's obviously not close to the pure triangle that you mention. It does have the bead on the leading edge to fit in the furler tube. I'll check out the backstay in more detail tomorrow - I've not really looked at this too much, and it's still adjusted to the point it was in when the boat was purchased. Regarding the furling tube, I'd need to measure this, but I'd say there is at least 5-6". I don't think that would be a problem shortening the forestay. Thanks for the response, Roger. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 6:01 AM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Allyn, Remind me again, does your R-22 have IMF? S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a conventional mainsail. The IMF mainsail does not have battens and less roach vs. a conventional mainsail. A mainsail is not a triangle. If you were to draw a line from the head to the clew, you would find a conventional mainsail has some sail area aft of this line and an IMF mainsail has almost none. In other words, an IMF mainsail is closer to a pure triangle vs. a conventional mainsail. This ?extra? sail area is called roach. IMF mainsails don?t have the battens which are necessary to support the extra sail area in the roach, so they can?t have much roach. All else being equal, this lack of roach moves the center of effort (CE) of an IMF mainsail slightly forward vs. a conventional mainsail. This would mean the mast needs to be tilted slightly more aft on an IMF rig to balance the weather helm/lee helm balance. So, if you have IMF, your longer forestay measurement makes sense. Believe your tape measure, especially if you?ve measured it several times and gotten the same result. The real question is, do you like your boat?s present weather helm/lee hem balance? If you would like less weather helm, shorten the forestay. More weather helm, lengthen the forestay. Shortening the forestay by 3.5 inches would significantly reduce your weather helm. You probably have more backstay adjustment than you think. Remember, you also have the double backstay adjuster rigging, which has a range of at least 12 inches. As long as the slack double backstays are long enough to step the mast and hook up the forestay pin to the bow chain plate, the double backstay adjuster will take up whatever slack remains. Another thing to consider ? How long is your CDI furling tube? If you shortened the forestay by 3.5 inches, would the furling tube be too long? You might consider shortening the forestay until the upper end of the furling tube just clears the toggle joint at the masthead. That would be the best you can do to reduce weather helm without modifying your furling tube.

Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing.

Allyn, The measurement you need is from the center of the pin at the masthead to the center of the pin at the bow chain plate. I?m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow evening. I am certain I have that measurement written down in my Harken Roller Furling manual because I had to specify it when I ordered the new forestay from Harken. I upgraded from the CDI furler to a Harken Unit 0 furler many years ago. The Harken furler has upper and lower swivels in order to take full advantage of a foam luff pad on the genoa. When I get home, I?ll look up the measurement and forward it to you. Over the years, I?ve replaced nearly all the standing rigging on my boat. I like the West Marine rigging service.

Yes, my R-22 has IMF.

It's obviously not close to the pure triangle that you mention. It does have the bead on the leading edge to fit in the furler tube. I'll check out the backstay in more detail tomorrow - I've not really looked at this too much, and it's still adjusted to the point it was in when the boat was purchased. Regarding the furling tube, I'd need to measure this, but I'd say there is at least 5-6". I don't think that would be a problem shortening the forestay.

Allyn, Remind me again, does your R-22 have IMF? S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a conventional mainsail. The IMF mainsail does not have battens and less roach vs. a conventional mainsail. A mainsail is not a triangle. If you were to draw a line from the head to the clew, you would find a conventional mainsail has some sail area aft of this line and an IMF mainsail has almost none. In other words, an IMF mainsail is closer to a pure triangle vs. a conventional mainsail. This ?extra? sail area is called roach. IMF mainsails don?t have the battens which are necessary to support the extra sail area in the roach, so they can?t have much roach. All else being equal, this lack of roach moves the center of effort (CE) of an IMF mainsail slightly forward vs. a conventional mainsail. This would mean the mast needs to be tilted slightly more aft on an IMF rig to balance the weather helm/lee helm balance. So, if you have IMF, your longer forestay measurement makes sense. Believe your tape measure, especially if you?ve measured it several times and gotten the same result. The real question is, do you like your boat?s present weather helm/lee hem balance? If you would like less weather helm, shorten the forestay. More weather helm, lengthen the forestay. Shortening the forestay by 3.5 inches would significantly reduce your weather helm. You probably have more backstay adjustment than you think. Remember, you also have the double backstay adjuster rigging, which has a range of at least 12 inches. As long as the slack double backstays are long enough to step the mast and hook up the forestay pin to the bow chain plate, the double backstay adjuster will take up whatever slack remains. Another thing to consider ? How long is your CDI furling tube? If you shortened the forestay by 3.5 inches, would the furling tube be too long? You might consider shortening the forestay until the upper end of the furling tube just clears the toggle joint at the masthead. That would be the best you can do to reduce weather helm without modifying your furling tube.

Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing.

Allyn, The measurement you need is from the center of the pin at the masthead to the center of the pin at the bow chain plate. I?m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow evening. I am certain I have that measurement written down in my Harken Roller Furling manual because I had to specify it when I ordered the new forestay from Harken. I upgraded from the CDI furler to a Harken Unit 0 furler many years ago. The Harken furler has upper and lower swivels in order to take full advantage of a foam luff pad on the genoa. When I get home, I?ll look up the measurement and forward it to you. Over the years, I?ve replaced nearly all the standing rigging on my boat. I like the West Marine rigging service.

It looks more like a humpback whale, and there is a piece of Velcro coming out of the hump. My only thought is that the Velcro can be used to wrap the mast around the mast during transportation. Also, I've been looking at Hayn hardware for the forestay. I missed the hardware length on the toggle at the top - I estimated 3/4" but it's 2.5". That makes the length from center-to-center of the pins at 28' 3-3/4". Roger, you said your boat doesn't have an IMF, correct? Are the mast heights any different between standard and IMF masts? I've measures 1/2 a dozen more times. *** Whatever broke off is at the bottom of the lake. I've attached two pictures, and I was convinced until 20 minutes ago my boat's forestay was made just like Silverheels. However, look at the top of the wire picture.

Allyn, Remind me again, does your R-22 have IMF? S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a conventional mainsail. The IMF mainsail does not have battens and less roach vs. a conventional mainsail. A mainsail is not a triangle. If you were to draw a line from the head to the clew, you would find a conventional mainsail has some sail area aft of this line and an IMF mainsail has almost none. In other words, an IMF mainsail is closer to a pure triangle vs. a conventional mainsail. This ?extra? sail area is called roach. IMF mainsails don?t have the battens which are necessary to support the extra sail area in the roach, so they can?t have much roach. All else being equal, this lack of roach moves the center of effort (CE) of an IMF mainsail slightly forward vs. a conventional mainsail. This would mean the mast needs to be tilted slightly more aft on an IMF rig to balance the weather helm/lee helm balance. So, if you have IMF, your longer forestay measurement makes sense. Believe your tape measure, especially if you?ve measured it several times and gotten the same result. The real question is, do you like your boat?s present weather helm/lee hem balance? If you would like less weather helm, shorten the forestay. More weather helm, lengthen the forestay. Shortening the forestay by 3.5 inches would significantly reduce your weather helm. You probably have more backstay adjustment than you think. Remember, you also have the double backstay adjuster rigging, which has a range of at least 12 inches. As long as the slack double backstays are long enough to step the mast and hook up the forestay pin to the bow chain plate, the double backstay adjuster will take up whatever slack remains. Another thing to consider ? How long is your CDI furling tube? If you shortened the forestay by 3.5 inches, would the furling tube be too long? You might consider shortening the forestay until the upper end of the furling tube just clears the toggle joint at the masthead. That would be the best you can do to reduce weather helm without modifying your furling tube.

Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing.

Allyn, The measurement you need is from the center of the pin at the masthead to the center of the pin at the bow chain plate. I?m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow evening. I am certain I have that measurement written down in my Harken Roller Furling manual because I had to specify it when I ordered the new forestay from Harken. I upgraded from the CDI furler to a Harken Unit 0 furler many years ago. The Harken furler has upper and lower swivels in order to take full advantage of a foam luff pad on the genoa. When I get home, I?ll look up the measurement and forward it to you. Over the years, I?ve replaced nearly all the standing rigging on my boat. I like the West Marine rigging service.

In-Reply-To: References: , , , , , Message-ID: Hi Allyn, OK, I just went out and measured my mast. From the top of the masthead casting to the bottom of the mast, my mast measures 25 ft, 6 inches long. This was measured in one step with a long tape measure. So, I?m pretty certain of the measurement. It is my understanding that the standard rig and the IMF rig have the same length mast. But, I would ask someone with an IMF mainsail to measure the length of their mast to confirm this. It would do no good for me to measure the length of terminal on the forestay because I have a Harken Unit 0 roller furler, not a CDI roller furler. The hardware is different. However, the 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches pin to pin forestay length I gave you includes the length of the terminals at each end. So, it should translate as long as the mast length is the same. I have no explanation why you are coming up with a 28 ft, 3-3/4 inches pin to pin forestay length. A few inches I can explain away with the differences in required mast tilt between the standard mainsail vs. the IMF mainsail. But, over a foot, that?s a huge difference! I?m about getting to the point to send you to Stan before I tell you to do something that?s wrong. I don?t have experience with the IMF rig and my R-22 doesn?t have the CDI roller furler either.

It looks more like a humpback whale, and there is a piece of Velcro coming out of the hump. My only thought is that the Velcro can be used to wrap the mast around the mast during transportation. Also, I've been looking at Hayn hardware for the forestay. I missed the hardware length on the toggle at the top - I estimated 3/4" but it's 2.5". That makes the length from center-to-center of the pins at 28' 3-3/4". Roger, you said your boat doesn't have an IMF, correct? Are the mast heights any different between standard and IMF masts?

Thanks for the response, Roger. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 6:01 AM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Allyn, Remind me again, does your R-22 have IMF? S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a conventional mainsail. The IMF mainsail does not have battens and less roach vs. a conventional mainsail. A mainsail is not a triangle. If you were to draw a line from the head to the clew, you would find a conventional mainsail has some sail area aft of this line and an IMF mainsail has almost none. In other words, an IMF mainsail is closer to a pure triangle vs. a conventional mainsail. This ?extra? sail area is called roach. IMF mainsails don?t have the battens which are necessary to support the extra sail area in the roach, so they can?t have much roach. All else being equal, this lack of roach moves the center of effort (CE) of an IMF mainsail slightly forward vs. a conventional mainsail. This would mean the mast needs to be tilted slightly more aft on an IMF rig to balance the weather helm/lee helm balance. So, if you have IMF, your longer forestay measurement makes sense. Believe your tape measure, especially if you?ve measured it several times and gotten the same result. The real question is, do you like your boat?s present weather helm/lee hem balance? If you would like less weather helm, shorten the forestay. More weather helm, lengthen the forestay. Shortening the forestay by 3.5 inches would significantly reduce your weather helm. You probably have more backstay adjustment than you think. Remember, you also have the double backstay adjuster rigging, which has a range of at least 12 inches. As long as the slack double backstays are long enough to step the mast and hook up the forestay pin to the bow chain plate, the double backstay adjuster will take up whatever slack remains. Another thing to consider ? How long is your CDI furling tube? If you shortened the forestay by 3.5 inches, would the furling tube be too long? You might consider shortening the forestay until the upper end of the furling tube just clears the toggle joint at the masthead. That would be the best you can do to reduce weather helm without modifying your furling tube.

Thanks for the info. I've not been on another Rhodes, but I've spent considerable time on a Capri 22. Based on that, I'd say my boat has excessive weather helm, and I really appreciate the info you provided. I've not made any adjustments to the forestay assembly, and the only thing I'm guessing on is adding 3/4" for the piece of the toggle joint that broke off to the point where the pin goes through. I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure. The boat was a one owner and came from Wisconsin and had a Wisconsin title, and I don't know if it was ever sailed in salt water. The hull was coated in mineral deposits, which I continue to work on. But then our lake water isn't much better. I worked on this email far to long, but I'm hoping it's relatively clear to understand. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 8:46 PM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? Hi Allyn, The pin-to-pin forestay measurement is 27 ft, 9-5/8 inches. Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing.

Allyn, The measurement you need is from the center of the pin at the masthead to the center of the pin at the bow chain plate. I?m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow evening. I am certain I have that measurement written down in my Harken Roller Furling manual because I had to specify it when I ordered the new forestay from Harken. I upgraded from the CDI furler to a Harken Unit 0 furler many years ago. The Harken furler has upper and lower swivels in order to take full advantage of a foam luff pad on the genoa. When I get home, I?ll look up the measurement and forward it to you. Over the years, I?ve replaced nearly all the standing rigging on my boat. I like the West Marine rigging service.

This ensures a choke out from starvation of fuel. This leaves no residual gas in the cup of the carb, which will usually cause problems with the needle holes throughout; causing rough running at start/no running, stalls at bad times, and higher maintenance/troubleshooting costs.

They took their best guess as to an appropriate dose and I responded well. When I checked in on Tuesday morning, the initial EKG showed me going in and out of A-Fib. The data logs from my implanted pacemaker showed I was in A-Fib ~50% of the time! When they started dosing me with Tikosyn, I reverted back to normal sinus rhythm almost immediately. They didn?t have to do an electrical cardiac inversion (i.e. shock treatment!) to get my heart back into normal sinus rhythm. They were also prepared to do another cardiac ablation and upgrade my implanted pacemaker from a 2 lead to a 3 lead unit. If they had to do that, the cardiac ablation would have been used to kill off all the remaining biological pacemaker cells and completely rely on the upgraded pacemaker. It may come to that in the future. But, for the moment we?re going to stick with the 2 lead pacemaker and Tikosyn. They also did an ultrasonic echo cardiogram to determine how enlarged my heart has gotten after all this A-Fibbing and measure the volume % ejected. These measurements will be needed for the procedure next week. I was hooked up to a wireless cardiac monitor for the entire 3 days I was in the hospital. So, they were monitoring my heart function constantly while I was getting loaded up on Tikosyn. By the morning of the 2nd day of Tikosyn loading, my wireless cardiac monitor showed I was in normal sinus rhythm and didn?t glitch once from then on! I actually feel much better. But, lying about in a hospital is one thing and actually living a normal life is another. So, for an initial cardiac insult test, I mowed my front lawn yesterday. I felt OK afterwards. I was also climbing up on a ladder measuring the length of my mast for Allyn, again with no apparent ill effects. I?m scheduled for another COVID-19 test this Sunday. Then, I have to quarantine until I go into the hospital on June 10th for a cardiac catheterization procedure. If nothing goes crooked, this will be a 1 day out patient procedure. But, this is exploratory laparoscopic surgery. They might have to keep me longer depending on what they find &/or if something goes crooked with the procedure itself. Thanks for all the kind wishes and please keep me in your prayers.

Any bend will be visible as a gap between the line and the mast. A conventional mainsail rig can use the main halyard as this line. On an IMF mainsail rig, you will have to tie a line to the masthead casting somehow. If you find any bend, you will have to ask Stan how much bend is acceptable and if the bend can be safely removed. My guess is, if the bend is beyond acceptable limits; then, you probably won?t be able to fix it. The reason the mast probably won?t be repairable has to do with how the mast is made. Our masts are made by extrusion from 7071 T6 aluminum alloy. After extrusion, this alloy has to be heat treated to make it stiff. But, the heat treatment process also causes the alloy to be susceptible to cold work hardening and embrittlement. If the final mast extrusion has been bent by an impact loading, the impact site will be cold work hardened. Bending it back will probably crack it. > > Roger Pihlaja > S/V Dynamic Equilibrium > > Sent from Mail for Windows 10 > > From: Allyn Baskerville > Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 11:28 PM > To: The Rhodes 22 Email List > Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? > > I just thought of a couple more things. I'm pretty sure the mast was dropped at one point, because the pop top was broken when I bought it. I've fiberglassed that back together. I've noticed a couple times that the mast may not look straight - it's pretty close, and I convince myself it's an optical illusion. It seems to hook back an inch or so part way up the mast. We had a cherry picker at the boat club last weekend, so I went up there to look at the top of the mast where the toggle fork failed. Looking down the mast, I believe I could see it hook backwards slightly, and that may be why my mainsail has never furled well. I have to pull down on the clew pretty hard to get the mail to furl. I do not see any damage, e.g. dents or otherwise, to the mast, and it doesn't appear torqued. I have no idea what the previous owner did as far as changing out any standing rigging, but maybe something broke a while ago and didn?t get the lengths quite right. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Allyn Baskerville > Sent: Thursday, June 3, 2021 10:02 PM > To: The Rhodes 22 Email List > Subject: RE: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? > > Thanks for the info.

I measured this 6 times, and 3 times I came up with about the same measurement: 28' 1-3/4" +/- 1/8" center to center. Just to clarify, the distance from the center of the pin that goes through the chain plate to where the toggle fork broke is 28' 1", then I added 3/4" for where the piece broke off to where I think the pin would be. The forestay wire is 27' 6-1/4" (taken to the outer edge of the swage crimp). I really think I'd run out of adjustment on the backstays if the forestay was about 3.5" shorter. I'll go back out to my boat, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1.5-2" of adjustment available on the backstays. > > You also mentioned chloride stress cracking fatigue failure.

Again, this is the distance from the center of the pin holding the headstay to the masthead toggle to the center of the pin holding the furler assembly to the bow chainplate. This measurement sets the overall tilt of the mast and it affects the weather helm/lee helm balance of the boat. Making the forestay longer tilts the mast aft, moves the center of effort (CE) of the sail plan aft, and increases weather helm. Conversely, making the forestay shorter tilts the mast forward, moves the CE forward, and increases lee helm. If you think your R-22 has too much weather or lee helm, now is a good time to fix it. Realistically, you can only change a few inches +/- from the above measurement without running into other issues with your standing rigging, like running out of adjustment on the backstays and lower sidestays. But, it will have a noticeable effect on your weather helm/lee helm balance. > > It?s almost impossible to have neutral helm throughout the wind range. For example, S/V Dynamic Equilibrium is setup to have neutral helm in light air, slight lee helm once the angle of heel gets > 10 deg, transitioning to neutral helm, and then slight weather helm as the angle of heel increases. Neutral helm in light air is OK because you?re going so slow you don?t have any steering feel anyway. Going from slight lee helm to neutral helm back to slight weather helm as the wind speed increases means you are having to use much less rudder correction, which adds drag, and the boat has less tendency to round up in a moderate puff of wind. But, by the time you are putting the leeward rail in the water, you want weather helm and a tendency to round up in a gust because it?s safer than lee helm or neutral helm. As you might imagine, it took a lot of hours on the water to fine tune this setup. But, I?ve owned my R-22 since 1987 and I lived on a lake. This is how you set the mast up for racing. > > Roger Pihlaja > S/V Dynamic Equilibrium > > Sent from Mail for Windows 10 > > From: ROGER PIHLAJA > Sent: Wednesday, June 2, 2021 5:57 PM > To: The Rhodes 22 Email List > Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] CDI Furler Wire Halyard Snapped - What's at the top? > > Allyn, > > The measurement you need is from the center of the pin at the masthead to the center of the pin at the bow chain plate. I?m due to be released from the hospital tomorrow evening. I am certain I have that measurement written down in my Harken Roller Furling manual because I had to specify it when I ordered the new forestay from Harken. I upgraded from the CDI furler to a Harken Unit 0 furler many years ago. The Harken furler has upper and lower swivels in order to take full advantage of a foam luff pad on the genoa.

Until you document the equipment that you have on board, how do you set a full loss value? You would probably be surprised at how much gear you have on board and what the replacement cost would be. I know I was. 2. Having the itemized list greatly simplifies your claim if something is stolen off your boat. Your insurance company already has make, model number, serial number, cost, etc. They agree up front to insure it, so there is no issue when it comes time to make a claim. Otherwise, you have to prove you actually owned the stolen gear, what it cost, etc. I have found insurance companies are much easier to deal with when there is an honest disclosure up front of what their potential liability could be. When there is clear disclosure up front, the insurance company can give you a better price because their risk is known to a much greater degree of accuracy.

I was put on Xeralto back in 2013 after my extensive bypass operation. I developed fairly extreme A-fib at the time. The cardiologist told me that I might not need to continue after a few months. Apparently a-fib that occurs after heart surgery can be temporary. I asked my family doctor about it in the following months but he told me that the only way to know whether I needed this and other heart medication was to stop using them and see what happens. After such surgery I was not inclined to experiment. However, I am also diabetic (type II) and have been for 50 years. One of the side effects of diabetes can be bleeding in the eye which can lead to blindness. In recent years I began to experience these problems and about 18 months ago I had a serious bleed in my right eye that resulted in total blindness in that eye - until after 6 months I had eye surgery that drained the eye of the blood, lasered all the bits together, and after about a month my sight was restored almost to the point before the event. Truly an amazing experience. I was taking the anticoagulants to address the risk of stroke brought on by A-fib but I couldn't ignore the fact the bleeding was also a risk for my eyesight so I asked for a re-evaluation of my A-fib given that I had not been aware of any problems over the years since my initial diagnoses. They put me on a monitor for two weeks and also did an array of tests and found no indication of A-fib. In spite of this finding the cardiologist strongly suggested that I stay on the anticoagulants. I resisted so he agreed to reduce the dose to a fairly low level. I have found that it is much easier to get put on medications than to be taken off. I went on a strict ketogenic diet 2 1/2 years ago and since then I have been able to stop all of my medications for diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol while maintaining normal levels of the related markers - except for LDL but that is another story. All this to stay I hope that the use of Tikosyn might reduce your need for Xeralto. These issues become complicated to say the least and I wish you the best as you sort all this out.

Message-ID: <1622945457705-0.post@n5.nabble.com> The wide cockpit of the R22 has a lack of foot support when on a heel. I know that some racing dindhys run an approx. 1.5 x 1.5" strip on the Cockpit floor for a foot brace. My wife (who is on the short side) suggested something similar for Radiant. Has anyone installed said brace or sailed on a boat with one? Is there space between the Cockpit floor and the hull? Are there some kind of anchors that can be applied through a hole that would then expand to act as a nut? Similar to those which anchor bolts through dry wall? Could HDPE be successfully epoxied using screws to help set? I realize it may be a trip hazard, so would install a black piece if I could find. I would rather not use teak, but would as a last resort.

That's what we do and it's part of the standard instructions that I give anyone new to the boat when they come for a sail. If it's me and a friend out for a lively sail then we'll sit on the coaming to hike out and we'll put our heels in the drainage channel of the windward bench while also holding on to the stern railing (me) and the crew holding onto the bar on the bulkhead at the front of the cockpit.

I get the impression that your pace is only temporarily now dipping to that of a typical person until you rebound back into adventure mode. Graham, glad to hear that you have found some good solutions to help with your health issues. Quick adventure update from San Francisco: Today we went out the bay, under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the ocean for the first time. As we came back, we were passed by a bunch of racers coming back with their spinnakers up. We were first on scene at overturned trimaran with 3 crew that we saw climb on top of their upside down boat. We dropped sails and turned in the motor. There were gusts up to 40 knots true wind as it funneled through the entrance to the bay. The coast guard showed up a minute later and threw a line to get them over to the coast guard boat one at a time. Then the overturned trimaran was towed. Just glad that it appeared that everyone was OK.

When my wife and I were looking for trailer sailer pocket cruisers that we could enjoy for a long time, the Rhodes 22 stood out as the winner. At the time, my wife didn't know how to sail yet but we looked at the reviews together. Since then she has learned a lot and she will often be at the helm depending on what she feels like that day. When we were in San Francisco, one of the classes we took was for docking (definitely best if both of us understand what's involved, especially on bigger boats) and we used several boats, starting with a Ranger 23 and then moving up in size. My wife had not been on another boat of similar size to the R22. She was not impressed with the Ranger 23 and missed the tiller to motor linkage from the R22 as we practiced docking. The boats we were on this past week were traditional with running rigging at the mast, traditional mainsails, etc. The admiral indicated that she would not be out on the boat near as much if it took as much work as it did with all the traditional methods. She is a fan of the many convenient features of the R22 including IMF. I count this a huge win since it is great to go sailing together. Just thought I would share this in case there are any potential R22 buyers on the list that may be wavering about what kind of boat might suit both the captain AND the admiral. It has worked out well for us.

As you probably know, we did a lot of cruising on Fretless from overnights to 2 week cruises. As we got older we found we were going out less and less when conditions were less that ideal and agility issues made us less confident about sailing the boat. When we decided to sell Fretless we thought we would be replacing her with a small runabout just to get us out on the water but just couldn't get excited about anything. It wasn't until we stepped aboard the Rosborough that we knew our next step. It was her similarity to the Rhodes in terms of simplicity, size, closeness to the water and the sturdy good seakeeping design that led us onward. Not to mention the air conditioning at the dock in 90 degree weather and the windshield wipers and enclosed helm in the rain. On the other hand, while Tara has her own Facebook page updated sporadically, the boat photos on our walls at home are Fretless and the memories are very sweet and seeing Respite here in Deltaville, truly made me smile.

However, the school uses larger boats for San Francisco Bay and keep the Ranger 23 for the estuary where the school is located, as well as the East Bay which is east of the Bay Bridge where conditions tend to be quite a bit more moderate. The boats we took out in San Francisco Bay were a Fontaine Pajot 35 and a Targa 34 which where both up to the task. The wind there was on a new level compared to what I experienced beforehand. Conditions are relatively tame where we use the Rhodes, though I'm impressed by the adventures that others have made on a R22.

I have been thinking in terms of a trailerable single engine trawler style boat with an enclosed helm station. We would still like to be able to cruise; but, we?re not ready to commit to ?the big boat? yet. A lot will depend on when/if they restore Sanford Lake from last year?s dam failures and flooding. We spent ~K$19 to repair our seawalls, steps, beach, and stabilize our shoreline against erosion last year. If they restore the lake, we will need to spend a similar amount to restore our dock to preflood condition. We will have plenty of notice to replace the dock if they decide the dam project is a go. This will be the 1st time I?ve ever built a dock on dry land!

They were a challenge when my trailer got damaged, clearly they are not well versed on boat trailers, didn't have anybody to provide an estimate, and wasted a great deal of my time. They were also very pissy that Ohio doesn't title trailers less then 4000 pounds. I finally got them to settle for the policy value, which was too low (my bad). They decided they didn't want to mess with a bent trailer so I'm trying to sell it as salvage for the axle now.

I currently have stabilized gas from last summer on Erie. Lowes sells ethanol free as well, about $25 / gallon. Carburetors cost more. Having my 4 year old motor fail yet again, two weeks before a planned cruise when the shops aren't taking new business is panic inducing. Running the carb dry isn't sufficient in my experience, but I do that every single time. My Tohatsu can get 25 nautical miles / gallon but the jets clog easily. My old 2 cycle Evinrude has jets that never clog, but sucks the tank dry like a 1970's car. I ran the tank dry on my dry stored wood chipper last fall, but just replaced the carb last night anyway. Fortunately I found the carb was cheaper then a new fuel line and gaskets (after I cleaned the old one). Marine grade carbs are a lot more expensive. but rebuilds are expensive as well.

I only put it on there when we go out for multi day trips. I bought a Victron Connect 75/15 solar controller to manage the charge to the two lead acid batteries on board. According to Victron the controller should be placed in the same space as the batteries as it monitors temperature as well as voltage, wattage, etc. So I mounted it right in the battery box. I really like that it connects to my iPad via Bluetooth and displays all the pertinent data at a glance.

It didn't occur to me to take photos of it while I was setting it all up, but I'm attaching one where you can kinda see the solar panel on the forward part of the bimini if you zoom way in. The setup was pretty simple. The solar panel has grommets in all four corners so I used short bungee cords to secure it to the support poles of the bimini. I made a custom 10 gauge cable that runs from the panel, down the forward/ starboard side of the bimini pole and plugs into a watertite plug mounted in the starboard cockpit seat back. From there I ran another 10 gauge set of wires through the bilge and up into the battery box which sits amid ships in front of the v-berth. To store the solar panel I made a mesh hammock in the v-berth. The solar panel slides into it and is out of the way until it's needed. It takes less than 5 minutes to strap to the bimini and plug in. We were planning to be at sea and anchored for 10 days. Between the lights, water pump, phones, ipad, and nav equipment I was worried the solar wouldn't be able to keep up. I was pretty happy when the solar controller went from bulk charge to float by noon each day. The MPPT controller is so much more efficient than the PWM. I did find the panel worked better on the back part of the bimini so the sail wouldn't shade it as much. Peter's set up on the arch is much better. I just looked it up and the panel is 110 watts not 125 like I had originally posted. The one I purchased is made by Sunpower and has the Maxeon cells.

Bottom line, stabilizer doesn?t stop the water from collecting. It slows the corrosion somewhat, but less then ethanol free fuel does. Gasoline evaporates, leaving ethanol and water in the tank. Untreated ethanol free is more stable then even treated gas / ethanol tinctures. ADM hates boaters.

I too wanted to go all LED. For the bow light I bought one made by Pactrade on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Pactrade-Marine-Navigation-Waterproof-Nautical/dp/B00IA7PZFA/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=pactrade+bow+light&qid=1623340852&sr=8-11 It's pretty cheap at $17 but was direct replacement for the perko. So far it's worked as advertised, but I've not subjected it to salt water and don't expect it will last. Hella is my light of choice for the exterior, but I'm not quite ready to spend $150+ for their LED bow light. Not until I re-work the mount to get it just behind the pulpit railing. I bumped a dock with the bow (still a newbie) and since the light is currently the most forward thing on the boat it got cracked the first time, the second time I hit the (same) dock finished it off. There's a story there, but I'm too embarrassed to tell it. If that dock wins the next round, I won't mind losing the cheap light. The anchor light is a Hella, also from Amazon. At $75 it was expensive but is completely waterproof and very well made. It looks good and is bright enough to be seen for quite a distance. https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-Marine-NaviLED-Compact-Navigation/dp/B00TUO1TBG/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2LH8I7COQBEZ8&dchild=1&keywords=hella+anchor+light&qid=1623341022&sprefix=Hella+an%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-4 Michael Riter SV Emma B On Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 8:06 AM THOMAS POLISE via Rhodes22-list < rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org> wrote: > I replaced my bow light with this Perko light from defender.

If you pull your boom tight towards the center of the boat you'll need to use the interior leads if you want the wind to hit your Genoa at the same angle that it's hitting your mainsail. If you check the archives for Test (Excel Spreadsheet) on 9-7-17 at 6:54, you'll see a post from me about sailing into the wind. Although accurate, the results were extremely lucky. The sailing conditions just happened to match up with how I had the sails and everything else set.

They eliminated a number of things: 1. The pressure mapping inside my heart chambers indicated I do not have significant leakage due to a congenital defect like a hole between chambers or valve leakage. 2. They could find no sign of infection or any sort of tumors inside my heart. 3. There is no obstruction to blood flow in my pulmonary arteries, say due to a sharp bend or kink. 4. My fraction ejected went from ~35% before Tikosyn to ~55% after. 55% is within the normal range. So, the Tikosyn appears to be working. 5. I do not have significant plaque build-up in my coronary or pulmonary arteries. So, I will not need a coronary bypass or a stint. While this is all good news, the question remains, what the heck is wrong with me? Why do I have all the swelling, poor aerobic stamina, the A-Fib, and tire so easily? The short answer is, they don?t know for sure. I have an appointment at the Heart Failure Clinic, Midland Hospital next week, Thursday. They have been talking about scheduling me for a sleep study to determine if I have sleep apnea; but, that hasn?t been scheduled yet. Frankly, I?m a little skeptical that sleep apnea could be causing all this; but, I can always be persuaded by data. Other than that, I have a normal list of post surgical issues. I have stitches in my groin that prevent me from driving for 2 days, I can?t do anything strenuous or even lift more than 10 lbs for 5 days, I can?t immerse the stitches in water for 10 days, and I have to watch for complications like infection or a hematoma at the incision site.

I hope they can figure out the remaining issues. I will say this; whether or not sleep apnea is causing any of your remaining heart problems, get the sleep study, and if prescribed, use the CPAP or other devices. If you have sleep apnea, an assistive device will make a big improvement in your energy and stamina levels and lessen the daytime fatigue. Todd T.

I didn't condemn the motor. The articles all review the steps taken to run the winch, including wiring images (diagrams). A word to the wise: the rocker switch is a DPDT center-off configured as a "reversing switch". Simply jumping the terminals without regard to the wiring can cause a short circuit which will hopefully just blow the fuse at the panel or battery, assuming that Stan installed such protection. As discussed in the cited archive links, the replacement motor is not very expensive. I would be surprised if an electric motor rebuilder would be able to cost effectively repair the motor if the problem is the motor.

The bolt that you are talking about is shorter than the remaining bolts. They are all the same diameter, I think 3/8". There should be one on the opposite side. Remove it and measure for length. These two are shorter so they don't interfere with hauling up the rudder and they do not have lock nuts like all of the others. Be sure to replace with 316 Stainless steel. You can get them from Fastenal or McMaster and Carr. If you're close to a West Marine, they can probably match what you need, but be sure it's either 304 or 316 grade. Take one to your local hardware store and check for fit in their guage that they have in the nuts and bolts department so you'll have the correct thread pattern. Problem is they don't have marine grade hardware and their stainless will rust out in a year. In the photos, the inboard (short) screws are removed. Note in the Rudder up photo the location of the outhaul line, which I had just replaced. That stainless rod had been dislocated (separate photo) and I had to do a repair to get it back in place. It's purpose is to provide a smooth surface for the line to slide on. Note the new Downhaul (red) line in each of the photos. I've taken the opportunity to attatch two additional photos: "Rudder Down and not locked" and "Rudder Down and Locked". Note the relative position of the rudder in the "locked" position. This is attained by using the Rudder Down Haul line to pull the rudder as far down and forward as it will go and using the hand wheel to tighten the line to keep the rudder in place. This will take enormous pressure off of the strong weather helm. It took me nearly four years to learn this when Stan answered the exact question you initially asked. I had reinstalled a long bolt where the two short ones should have gone that did not allow the rudder to extend much beyond the horizontal. Hope this helps. ----- Joe Dempsey s/v Respite Rhodes 22 1989/2005 Deltaville,VA -- Sent from: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/ From rlowe at vt.edu Mon Jun 14 14:44:48 2021 From: rlowe at vt.edu (Lowe, Rob) Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 18:44:48 +0000 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Pintle Screw size and availability In-Reply-To: <1623695342065-0.post@n5.nabble.com> References: <1623686549984-0.post@n5.nabble.com>, <1623695342065-0.post@n5.nabble.com> Message-ID: Joe, Tell me more about this metal rod shown in your photo. My rudder is apparently missing that. That's probably why I have such trouble getting my rudder down all the way and forward enough. I have to use by boat hook to push the rudder all the way forward. Once it's there, I can tighten the line to hold it in position. But I can't use the down haul line to get it into position. - rob ________________________________ From: Rhodes22-list on behalf of Joe Dempsey Sent: Monday, June 14, 2021 2:29 PM To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Pintle Screw size and availability Matt, I just "re-built" my rudder this past off season.

It was held in place by two #6 or #8 1" or 1-1/4" screws. It's either 1/4" or 3/8" stainless rod (going from memory). Fortunately it had not been deep sixed and was hanging on by one of the screws. As you can see, the downhaul line had worked itself inside of the rod. I'm guessing it was intended to go around the rod. I never checked with Stan, but figured since without going around the rod, it was pulling at an awkward angle and also pinching inside the rudder housing. Looking back at the photo, I'm going to guess with the 3/8" size. You can order 316 ss rod from McMaster and Carr and cut to the length you need. Then bore holes on either side to match up with each side of the rudder housing. You should find holes already in the edges of the housing. They may need some repair. As I recall, the screws that held the rod in place seemed somewhat skimpy and I may have beefed them up, but don't remember. Obviously, thickness of the housing sides will dictate. ----- Joe Dempsey s/v Respite Rhodes 22 1989/2005 Deltaville,VA -- Sent from: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/ From gstewart8 at cogeco.ca Mon Jun 14 21:02:39 2021 From: gstewart8 at cogeco.ca (Graham Stewart) Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 21:02:39 -0400 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Pintle Screw size and availability In-Reply-To: <1623686549984-0.post@n5.nabble.com> References: <1623686549984-0.post@n5.nabble.com> Message-ID: <000101d76182$247418b0$6d5c4a10$@ca> Those are just very short flathead machine screws.

Hi everyone, Along with a few other sailors from our club at Lake Manawa in Iowa, I'm going to be participating in the JBT Regatta on July 17 at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. It's a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer research and our team will be sailing in memory of my daughter Maddie. My wife and I started the Nebraska Chapter of The Cure Starts Now and it so happens that the New Hampshire Chapter of The Cure Starts Now was also started by a guy named Jesse who is a sailor. He started it in memory of his son John. We'll be borrowing his J80 for the race and he is borrowing a boat from a friend so we can all participate. I started sailing in 2018, several years after Maddie passed away in 2015 when she was 8 years old. Sailing has been a very helpful outlet for me and I'm grateful that I found it when I did. Anyway, I have a couple of free days in New Hampshire (and a rental car available) following the regatta, so if there happen to be any Rhodies in the area, it would be great to meet up. If you happen to be interested in participating in the regatta, here is a link to the Notice of Race: https://events.thecurestartsnow.org/media/4031/notice-of-race-6th-annual-jbt-regatta.pdf Our team page is at the following link in case anyone wants to contribute. There are absolutely no expectations here, but I would be remiss if I didn't at least post the link. https://p2p.thecurestartsnow.org/402 Thanks, Jesse Shumaker S/V Zephyr From jesse.laten.shumaker at gmail.com Tue Jun 15 10:36:43 2021 From: jesse.laten.shumaker at gmail.com (Jesse Shumaker) Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2021 09:36:43 -0500 Subject: [Rhodes22-list] are there any Rhodes 22 sailors near Lake Winnipesaukee in NH?

Today while doing it myself, I basically let it slide along the deck as I worked the crank on the winch. This didn?t work well.

I really didn?t want to raise the mast again, so, out of plywood I cut a small Y shaped support, attached it to a long pole, and lifted the Genoa up into the cradle.

It works the same for raising it. Doing it this way also allows me to move the genoa from one side or the other to compensate for any wind pushing against the mast while it goes up or down.

I had planned to make a road trip with my R22 with some other sailors from our club to a reservoir in Nebraska but they won't be available over Labor Day weekend. My friend and I are thinking about doing a road trip with my R22 to a lake in Kansas instead for a few days around Labor Day. I think you said your son keeps one of your R22 fleet (ha!) in Milford.

I do have a homemade version of the GBI crane and cradle system. I think my winch may be different than what Stan used on his. When I?m bringing the mast up, the winch has a ratchet brake allowing me to stop at any point and let go of the handle. But when I?m lowering the mast I have to keep pressure on the handle. If I want to stop the process I must flip a lever on the winch to lock the handle. Is this how the GBI winch works? Mike?your technique sounds doable unless I need a free hand to flip the lever on the winch. Tom?I might want to rig some way to attach the Genoa to the mast as you mentioned. How high up the mast is your attachment? Do you have the CDI furler?

It has friction plates inside that work like a clutch. You can let go at any point and it won't move. That type of winch is kind of expensive, but worth it for the ease of use. Roger, I use ties to hold the furler to the mast once it's down, but it's more than a foot longer than the mast and I have to tail it out with one hand while raising or lowering or the sharp edges of the GB furler will just drag across the foredeck.

This year's cruise is almost exactly the same length as the one from Barcelona to Naples, 1050 nm. I will be arriving in Greece at the boat on the 15th of July. I'll spend a week by myself (unless someone wants to come along and help out) fixing up the boat and getting it in the water after 2 years on the hard. Then I'll spend a week sailing around the northern Ionian by myself (unless someone wants to come along). I'll end up in Corfu and pick up my wife on the 28th of July. From there it is south to the tip of Greece then east over to Rhodes (an island named after the boat?). We will clear out of Greece about mid September and spend 10 days to two weeks in Turkey before putting it to bed in Marmaris. We plan to put it up for sale in the spring. (more details on that later) I generally do a fair amount of prep on trips like this and enjoy going over the sailing guide books and charts and Google earth. I created a rather long document (13 pages) with a proposed itinerary and distances and an accompanying set of Google Earth pictures of each of the 50 odd places where we will be spending a night or two. About half I've never been to so it is with great anticipation that I look forward to this year's adventure. I've attached a Google Docs link to the itinerary if you are interested. One note, to really get the most out of it, the document should be viewed at 170% on a computer screen. I should start posting stuff a couple of weeks behind the actual day's sail, say around the beginning of August or late July. This trip will be the most challenging yet as the Meltemi is the strongest in August, right when we are crossing the Aegean.

You are an intrepid sailor to sail the Ionian sea solo. It?s a fascinating way to spend the summer, and I am envious. I?ll look forward to following your progress. Hearing of your plans to include Turkey in your itinerary, I can?t help but ask this question (born of ignorance, I confess) about your boat?s name. It is ?????? in Greek, right, meaning ?union?? Doesn?t that refer to the political union of Cyprus and Greece, and if so, does the name cause any raised eyebrows when you sail into a Turkish port? I remember once going up to a stand in Turkey to buy ice cream and mistakenly handing the vendor a drachma in payment (this was before the Euro), and he indignantly slapped the coin down on the counter and pushed it back. There seemed to be some pretty hard feelings between the Greeks and the Turks, at least back then.

Indeed during the Junta that was often how Enosis was used. Didn't think very few people (other than the Cypriots, knew this. Yes it might be a problem. I named the boat dwith the older root word in mind. "a coming together to make (one) complete." it is a base for such words as Gnosticism, So you will probably see some alteration in the name involving peeling off a letter or two. Maybe I shall just remove the "E" and the last "S", leaving me with "Nosi" a homonym for a snoopy boat. Or I see its meaning in the Bosnian language is a verb, "wears". But I think I might just go with a language I know. ENO, "and no". A response to the political meaning of Enosis. In truth, the Turks could make a strong argument for their invasion in '74. Shortly before that time, I talked to a number of young Greek Cypriots who gleefully relate how they would sneek into a Turkish village and rape the girls there. It seemed they shared the same attitude that some Serbians had 15 years later. Anyway, to a more positive subject, it will be the most challenging sail with Enosis. I'm not really worried about the Ionian but the Aegean is another matter. I've sailed the Aegean in the summer a number of times, most recently in a British built little 22' Pandora. It was an old fixed keel VanDe Staat designed boat built for the north sea. So, I might be biting off more than I can chew (well we can chew) but we will just have to get used to waiting for a window or doing some very early morning sailing in the dark. This will probably be our last year with Enosis as Alice has some health issues and really doesn't enjoy the long flights over and back. We intend to put it up for sale and hopefully someone(s) will buy her and have as much fun sailing her as we have. Chris Geankoplis Enosis or ENO, or NOSI, or I just thought of "Sis" which is a Greek prefix indicating doing or action sort of like "ing" in English.

Quite the contrary. The Greek Liqueur in the attachment has the brand name "Enosis". It is mad from the mastic plant. It is rather odd tasting. It is made on one of the Dodecanese islands where we are headed. I may just keep the bottle and insist that it was named after this liqueur and has no other meaning. What a conundrum.

I bought a stainless steel bolt with plastic washer as a temporary fix (visible in the attached photo, if it comes through), but I would like to replace it with something closer to the original. Can anyone suggest a source? Would General Boats likely have something like that in stock? Also, I need to replace the threaded part of a stay turnbuckle that was already bent when I acquired the boat about six years ago. (I?ll also attempt to attach a photo of that.) Any suggestions for a source? When I go online, there is a daunting range of prices for various kinds of open turnbuckle assemblies.

I guess I know how I'm going to be spending the rest of my evening. (I'm a very slow writer...) First, in my original post, I was merely trying to make sure we all knew what Stan's best email address was. I think that we have at least answered that question. The best way to contact Stan via email is still stan at generalboats.com. Second, Stan doesn't get copies of posts to the list sent back to him, so he's never sure if he's really sent them. I'm sure there are many possible explanations for this, but one that pops up in my mind first is that there's a setting for this exact behavior. In the list Admin pages, it's labeled "Receive your own posts to the list?". If this is set to 'No', then posts you send to the list are sent to everyone else on the list, but are not sent back to you. Being a mere mortal, I can't see what Stan's subscription option settings are. I'd rather not have to take the time to write out detailed instructions for how Stan (or anyone else) could sign in and review how their subscription options are set. So, Mike, is it possible for you to check on this? Third, Stan's internet domains appear to be a mystery to him. I'm guessing that 'Thunderbird' is the email client he's using, not his 'provider'. Both 'rhodes22.com' and 'generalboats.com' appear to be functional websites. Emails to 'rhodes22.com' stopped working at some point, and no one knows why. Emails to 'generalboats.com' continue to work. Stan says that the 'generalboats.com' email is '100% free', but obviously that's not really true. Someone is paying for it. --Peter > On 2021-06-28, at 14:24:45 EDT, stan wrote: > > > (Peter, I am sending this to you via the Rhodes list to see if you and I both > get it or you get it and I don't or no one gets it) > > > Peter, thanks for your note and I do care to comment on it since it is way above > my pay grade and your coverage of these kinds of issues is often understandable, > even by those of us brought up on IBM electric typewriters. > > For the past month or so I seem to be able to continue seeing emails sent by > others to others on the Rhodes List, however I no longer see emails sent BY me > to others on the List.  So I sent a test email to the List.  Three 3 > List readers said my test got to them via the List.  So it seems my emails > arrive at the List post office and all List members see them (I am assuming), > except me (I am not assuming).

This is not cheap, but I'm kind of paranoid about this. 2) Before any trips, I take the boat and trailer out for a 'test run' of at least 15 minutes. Then I carefully use my fingers to check the temperature of each wheel hub. If any are hot, go back to step 1. Hot means you can't keep your fingers on the hub. Warm is OK. 3) Inside the boat, I haven't found the need to do very much to secure stuff. Things will get bounced around some, but not too severely. > On 2021-06-28, at 15:56:55 EDT, mm.bizlist1 at gmail.com wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I am a new Rhodie preparing to take my Rhodes on the road for the first time > solo next month.

I have been trying to track down this problem for Stan since Father's Day. Using my secret decoder ring to gain access to the administrative control panel The GNU Mailman list permits me to view or change any settings for Stan. The "Receive your own posts to the list?" is set to "Yes". The "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" is set to "Yes". I do not think that it is the list. My guess is that a "rule" may exist in Stan's Thunderbird email client that throws away emails "From the sender". I'm not knowledgeable about Thunderbird so it is just a guess. As far as site hosting and domain registration benefactors go, I would look to Michael Meltzer. "Hello, Michael, is this thing on?"

I go through the trailer and check lights, tires, tire pressure and lug nuts. I make sure the boat is secured to the trailer at the bow and stern. I leave my rudder attached, but tie it off to one side so it won?t flop around or accidentally drop down. I double check to make sure the mast is secured at the bow and tied to the crutch in the back. I also made a cradle that mounts in the mast step to further support the mast and keep it from bouncing. Any thing loose (pfd?s, cushions, cooler, etc) goes in the cabin. Fuel tanks and motor going in the truck bed. I make sure the batteries are charged then confirm all the lights and electronics are working. If I?m going on a long trip (another state) then I rig the boat in the driveway and check that all the standing and running rigging is in good working order. After that, anchor and rode check along with fenders and dock lines. Tools, extra parts and lines are also loaded in the cabin. Last but not least the keys for the pop top, lazarett and motor lock are put in the truck console then double checked before I go.

It is now, only for the past month or two, that I no longer get to see my mail to the list. At least one of my questions is now answered. My not seeing my mail does not mean the mail is not getting through. My guess still is I must have done something here at this end to make Thunderbird suddenly decide I don't like reading my own mail. Anyone else use Thunderbird? Unlike others, they have no live help service. Peter says there is no free email service. I don't pay anyone for mine. Is it included as part of the of the domain name periodic billing? Or do I have a secret admirerer. stan On 6/29/21 10:56 AM, John Carlson via Rhodes22-list wrote: > I don't see mine either and I am not using my gmail account. > > > -- > John Carlson > S/V Lillipelli (2004/2012) > > >> On Jun 29, 2021, at 9:53 AM, Ric Stott wrote: >> >> excuse the caps on that last one - I WAS DRAFTING. .

If you post from Gmail, Gmail knows you already have a copy in your Sent folder, and throws away the copy from the mailing list. This is superficially reasonable (this is the kind of thing that Message-IDs are used for!), but for several reasons the mailing list copy is likely to be more useful than the Sent folder copy. Unfortunately, this policy is long-established and Google explicitly refuses to change it.

This is sent through "from p3plsmtpa11-04.prod.phx3.secureserver.net ([68.178.252.105])" which is the GoDaddy relay email server for sites hosted by GoDaddy like generalboats.com. So, Peter and MM are correct, there's no free lunch. Stan's email costs are part of his GoDaddy fees. I still do not know why Stan fails to see his own emails when sent to the list. A few questions have come to mind: 1. Stan, do you create the email in Thunderbird? 2. Stan, do you see the same action when replying to the list on an "open" thread? 3. Stan, do you receive the posting acknowledgement that I enabled? 4. Stan, are you posting through Nabble? 5. Stan, is it time to go sailing yet?
