My leftovers got used on other odds and ends. I looked just now and a roll 12" x 36" was about $40 with free shipping. Get out a nice sharp blade and a sunny day.

But here are my notes: I obtained a replacement gasket through Chris Cowie, ccowieatvoilieryachts.com , a Rhodie at Voilier Yachts in White Plains, MD . If you want to buy your own gasket, purchase neoprene.) I took my CB cap to them so they could get the bolt holes properly aligned in the right pattern. Once I had the new gasket, re-assembly of the gasket and CB Cover was the reverse. I replaced all of the hardware with ?? x 1-1/4? 316 SS Machine bolts, fender washers and lock nuts purchased from McMaster-Carr on line. You may be able to get them for less at Fastenall. The old gasket only had the machine screws and nuts. Stan told me that there should be fender washers on top and bottom. (First photo shows CB Cap before I removed it showing rust around the hex screw heads. The second photo shows the ?new? cap with new hardware incl. fender washers) I tightened the hex screws barely snug at first and then gradually tightening, side to side, working from front to rear or vice versa and finally snugging them down in the same sequence, taking care not to over tighten. (Do not tighten by alternating front to rear or there is a chance of a ?bubble? occurring in the gasket.) Once you launch for the first time, check for leaks and torque the bolts as necessary, but always allow for future tightening. When I first launched, there was leakage and I snugged the screws once again and the dripping ceased. I?m in my third season (2021) and it hasn?t leaked a drop! I will probably pull up my cabin sole and re-snug them soon. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of mm.bizlist1 at gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 5:19 PM To: 'The Rhodes 22 Email List' ; 'ROGER PIHLAJA' Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Size of Centerboard hole Joe, where would we find Stan's instructions?

In my boat there were no washers on the underside of the cap, just on the top. I'll add bottom washers when I reassemble. A few of the hex heads broke off during disassembly and there was evidence of corrosion, so I ordered all new 316 stainless hardware from McMaster-Carr (1 day delivery!). I tried emailing Chris Cowie but his email bounced back. My gasket seems to be in reasonable condition, but I planned on replacing it anyway. However, I still haven't located neoprene sheet in the right size. The gasket is 7.25" x 54.25" and is 3/16" thick. I imagine that 1/4" neoprene would also work well and might be more forgiving if there are irregularities in the surfaces. I am looking for soft 40A Duro, which is less common than the harder 60A. If anyone has recently been able to get the gasket material, please let me know. I've also reached out to Stan and Charles but haven't heard back yet. Thanks for your help.

(First photo shows CB Cap before I removed it showing rust around the hex screw heads. The second photo shows the ?new? cap with new hardware incl. fender washers) I tightened the hex screws barely snug at first and then gradually tightening, side to side, working from front to rear or vice versa and finally snugging them down in the same sequence, taking care not to over tighten. (Do not tighten by alternating front to rear or there is a chance of a ?bubble? occurring in the gasket.) Once you launch for the first time, check for leaks and torque the bolts as necessary, but always allow for future tightening. When I first launched, there was leakage and I snugged the screws once again and the dripping ceased. I?m in my third season (2021) and it hasn?t leaked a drop! I will probably pull up my cabin sole and re-snug them soon.

In my boat there were no washers on the underside of the cap, just on the top. I'll add bottom washers when I reassemble. A few of the hex heads broke off during disassembly and there was evidence of corrosion, so I ordered all new 316 stainless hardware from McMaster-Carr (1 day delivery!). I tried emailing Chris Cowie but his email bounced back. My gasket seems to be in reasonable condition, but I planned on replacing it anyway. However, I still haven't located neoprene sheet in the right size. The gasket is 7.25" x 54.25" and is 3/16" thick. I imagine that 1/4" neoprene would also work well and might be more forgiving if there are irregularities in the surfaces. I am looking for soft 40A Duro, which is less common than the harder 60A. If anyone has recently been able to get the gasket material, please let me know. I've also reached out to Stan and Charles but haven't heard back yet. Thanks for your help.

In my boat there were no washers on the underside of the cap, just on the top. I'll add bottom washers when I reassemble. A few of the hex heads broke off during disassembly and there was evidence of corrosion, so I ordered all new 316 stainless hardware from McMaster-Carr (1 day delivery!). I tried emailing Chris Cowie but his email bounced back. My gasket seems to be in reasonable condition, but I planned on replacing it anyway. However, I still haven't located neoprene sheet in the right size. The gasket is 7.25" x 54.25" and is 3/16" thick. I imagine that 1/4" neoprene would also work well and might be more forgiving if there are irregularities in the surfaces. I am looking for soft 40A Duro, which is less common than the harder 60A. If anyone has recently been able to get the gasket material, please let me know. I've also reached out to Stan and Charles but haven't heard back yet. Thanks for your help.

But here are my notes: I obtained a replacement gasket through Chris Cowie, ccowieatvoilieryachts.com , a Rhodie at Voilier Yachts in White Plains, MD . If you want to buy your own gasket, purchase neoprene.) I took my CB cap to them so they could get the bolt holes properly aligned in the right pattern. Once I had the new gasket, re-assembly of the gasket and CB Cover was the reverse. I replaced all of the hardware with ?? x 1-1/4? 316 SS Machine bolts, fender washers and lock nuts purchased from McMaster-Carr on line. You may be able to get them for less at Fastenall. The old gasket only had the machine screws and nuts. Stan told me that there should be fender washers on top and bottom. (First photo shows CB Cap before I removed it showing rust around the hex screw heads. The second photo shows the ?new? cap with new hardware incl. fender washers) I tightened the hex screws barely snug at first and then gradually tightening, side to side, working from front to rear or vice versa and finally snugging them down in the same sequence, taking care not to over tighten. (Do not tighten by alternating front to rear or there is a chance of a ?bubble? occurring in the gasket.) Once you launch for the first time, check for leaks and torque the bolts as necessary, but always allow for future tightening. When I first launched, there was leakage and I snugged the screws once again and the dripping ceased. I?m in my third season (2021) and it hasn?t leaked a drop! I will probably pull up my cabin sole and re-snug them soon. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list On Behalf Of mm.bizlist1 at gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 5:19 PM To: 'The Rhodes 22 Email List' ; 'ROGER PIHLAJA' Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Size of Centerboard hole Joe, where would we find Stan's instructions?

Try easing the tension on the cam-cleat. This will make movement easier but it will never be fast and never be the tool you use to de-power quickly, the main sheet is best for that. What I like best about Stan?s invention is the ability to pull the pins from the ends and swing the traveler out of the way or take it off completely in seconds. I designed the ends and had them fabricated out of Delrin at a local machine shop. If anyone is interested I can probably dig out the drawing. Ric Dadventure.

Otherwise we didn't have any bug issues at all. Here's where we went: - started by anchoring out on south side of Rockland Harbor - sailed northeast and anchored in Northwest Harbor on Deer Isle - sailed northwest around Little Deer Isle and then southeast through Eggemoggin Reach, then east through Casco Passage, then hooked north around Black Island to anchor between Black, Opechee and Sheep islands. - sailed southeast around Great Duck Island then NNW between Mount Desert and Cranberry Islands all the way up north to the end of Somes Sound by Bar Island, then back south to anchor in Valley Cove near the mouth of Somes Sound - sailed south just a bit to Southwest Harbor and docked to walk around the town. Then departed mid afternoon for our overnight passage. Sailed east and then south around Sutton, Little Cranberry and Baker islands then continued south about 15 miles past Mount Desert Light (to get out to an area mostly free of lobster pots before dark). In the middle of the night we started heading back northwest towards Rockland, keeping Vinalhaven Island to our north. I'll put together a trip recap with photos and share that once I have it assembled.

My boat mechanic is very good with fiberglass, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that you have regarding how to approach this repair. We noticed that there appears to be tiny bits of metal embedded in the resin at the leading edge of the centerboard, possibly lead shot? I am guessing that might have been an attempt to increase the weight of the centerboard, but there did not seem to be enough to make much difference. Any thoughts on that? I reached out to Stan directly about the centerboard but haven't heard back in over a week. Has anyone heard from him recently? My last email from him was on May 1st.

I had overlooked this seller on Amazon previously because I was specifically looking for 40A rubber and this is 60A. However, they do have a strip that is 8" wide and 10' long which is much closer to what I need than I had found so far. In the end I ordered a piece of 3/16" 40A sheet that is 5' long and 36" wide because it was about the same price. If other Rhodies need gasket material, I will have plenty left over.

With the Unit 0, I got all the advantages of independent upper and lower swivels and an aerodynamically shaped headfoil with twin luff grooves. The independent upper and lower swivels enable the use of foam luff pads on the genoa for better furled sail shape over a wider wind speed range. The furling mechanism uses Torlon ball, needle, and roller bearings throughout. The only maintenance required is an occasional freshwater flush on the upper and lower swivels. After 30 years, the thing still spins as freely a bicycle rim! It?s an expensive solution; but, it really is a nice piece of gear.

I had to have the bold replaced as the furler requires one with a small diameter. On the whole I am satisfied with the furler but I really don't have much to compare it to. It is not a high end furler but it is less costly than most of the others and seems to do the job for casual cruising. Graham Stewart Agile, Rodes 22, 1976 Kingston Ontario -----Original Message----- From: Rhodes22-list [mailto:rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org] On Behalf Of ROGER PIHLAJA Sent: Wednesday, June 8, 2022 9:01 AM To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Furling foil Mike, The insert doesn?t need to be solid. Just machine a narrow slot in one side of the insert from the surface down to the central bore. Then, you can wedge the slot open with a flat bladed screwdriver while you slide the forestay in. When you remove the screwdriver blade, the slot will close. Once the insert is in place, the ID of the furling extrusion will hold the slot closed. With modern CNC machine tools, pretty much any shape can be created. The machinist will have the old broken insert to use as a template. Delrin 150 has tensile, flexural, and compressive moduli of 450,000 psi. It will stretch ~30% before failure. It is both more rigid vs HDPE and sufficiently flexible for this application. It has excellent fatigue strength and is unaffected by water. It has excellent machinability.

When I took her out rhe first few times the furler was rery difficult to operate. I thoughti was doing something wrong. I inquired with Stan who told me? that it was probably in need of cleaning. I called CDI and Joel talked me through disassembly of the furling cup. Didn't need? to lower the stay. Turns out the bearing cup was corroded (due to poor maintenance)? he shipped me a new bearing, cup and bearings. I was up and running the day after that arrived. CDI is very helpful and easy to work with.? Hint: Good maintenance is worthwhile! Really difficult.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Bob, I installed EVA foam material to the cockpit floor of our 2010 Rhodes 22. It?s 3 mm thick, with an adhesive backing, 28 5/8? wide x 54 3/8? long?custom cut by the manufacturer. That covers the existing textured area in the fiberglass of the floor. I provided templates to the manufacturer, SeaDek, for the floor and for the seats. They should still have the drawings, dated 3-29-2011. We did not order foam for the seats, which would have been 20 mmm thick. We really like it for the padding it provides when we?re kneeling on the floor and for the extra traction when the boat heels. If there is a downside to the product it?s that dirt really clings to the pad. But the product is still in excellent shape. If it ever wears out, I?ll order it again. Steve.

The narrow diameter end of the shaft will fit, and when you "feel" an obstruction - it's the raised center board. Then, I applied a little force with a hammer on the other end of the shaft. When I removed the shaft the center board lowered. As stated by others, it's a good idea to raise and lower the center board routinely.

The narrow diameter end of the shaft will fit, and when you "feel" an obstruction - it's the raised center board. Then, I applied a little force with a hammer on the other end of the shaft. When I removed the shaft the center board lowered. As stated by others, it's a good idea to raise and lower the center board routinely.

CB is accessable once cap and gasket are removed. I remember seeing a post on replacing the CB pivot pin. Removing the CB can certainly be done but I'll bet it's a pain in the ass.?TIP: When raising CB, haul to top and back off about 1-2 inches before cleating it off.Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone -------- Original message --------From: John Carlson via Rhodes22-list Date: 6/8/22 11:40 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Melvyn Rothbard Cc: The Rhodes 22 Email List Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Swing keel stuck.

Kept the line out of the way; made it easy to raise the boom out of the way when motoring; and made it WAY easier to lower the aft end of the boom when sailing with the mainsail and poptop down. Until you mentioned it I didn't think about this problem but my topping lift flops around my mast on my newer boat too. When I furl the mainsail back in, I pull the inhaul line with my left hand while holding the outhaul line with my right hand to keep the sail from getting out of control. Maybe that keeps the boom down and the topping lift tight enough to not get in the way. Not sure if that helps. I'll check it out next time I go sailing.

Great sailing in the area though I expect a lot more crowded than on the Southern Bay. Some of our favorite anchorages are on the Choptank, the Miles and the Wye just across the Bay Are you going to be able to leave her with the mast up on the trailer? We did that for the first two years we had her up on the Middle River. It was great. Welcome to the (sort of) neighborhood.

Remember that, under load, the spreaders are under compression and not tension, so the mounts to the mast are more to keep them in place when they?re not under tension. Just like the bolt at the foot of the mast. I think there are a few ways to address the issue, including reinforcing the material behind it, or just adding a new piece of thin strong material between the spreader and the mast to act like a giant washer of sorts. You might also be able to relocate the spreaders up or down the mast an inch or two to find some good metal to connect them to?I don?t think that small of a change in geometry would cause other issues.

The fact that the base tore out without bending the mast or causing other damage is actually a good indication that the mast is sound. I think that damage should be reparable by a professional aluminum welder. Alternatively, it might be possible to find or have made new spreader bases that are larger and could span the damage. Don't get discouraged, this is all part of sailing. Believe me there are much worse things that could go wrong.

We can wait for Roger to respond, but if that happened to my mast, here is what I would do. After taking measurements to get the spreader positions recorded, I would remove the main sail and furling tube assembly. Remove the spreader brackets. I'm do not have an IMF mast but the spreader brackets aren't through bolted through the mast from side to side like some older standard masts I've seen. Then contact a local machine shop or welding shop. Have the damaged areas cut out or cleaned up. Stop drill any radiating cracks, then TIG weld them up. Then TIG weld 3/16ths" or 1/4" plates over the damaged areas/holes, and remount the spreader brackets. Survey how you'll remount the brackets before the welding though. Just my thoughts. Todd T.

As I look at the damage, it looks like it spans at least 25% of the circumference of the mast. Even worse, the two holes are right across from each other. Aluminum alloys have to be specially heat treated in order to be both strong and fatigue resistant. The welding process will destroy the heat treatment in the heat affected area. Even if you welded a patch all the way around the mast big enough to cover the damage, the weld bead will create a weak, soft spot in the mast above and below the patch. The only solution would be to run the whole mast thru heat treatment after the patch was welded on. That would require a furnace big enough to fit the whole mast and all the fittings would have to be removed first and then reattached. At the end of the day, it all comes down to cost. I suspect it will be cheaper to replace the mast vs repair it.

I was motoring around the lake the other day trying to get the ten hours of break-in period on my new outboard. That's a lot of motoring when I could have been sailing. I was going 3.5 mph with the diamond centerboard in the up position. I lowered the board and it slowed me down to 3.4 mph. May not be surprising to a lot of you but I'd thought it would have slowed the boat down morre. 2, My old motor was a 9.9hp. I thought that a 8hp would be ideal for our boats but I went down to a 6hp because of the weight difference, Not sure if I can manhandle the smaller engine on and off the boat but I can probably find some kid who can. At slightly less than one third throttle the Tohatsu long shaft moved the boat at 5.1 mph in calm waters. It will be interesting to see what it can do in a strong headwind.

It just needs to electrically insulate the mast from the spreader base. I?ve never seen anyone selling them. However, I have made electrical isolators for my mast from a plastic milk jug and a pair of scissors. Note that you also need to coat the stainless steel mounting bolts with never seize or dielectric grease to prevent the threads from corroding. You could also coat the back of the spreader bases with epoxy and that will also work to keep the stainless steel away from the aluminum. Anyway, don?t just bolt the spreader bases to the mast without attending to this very important detail. Your mast will probably be ruined within one season!

Let me know how it works out - I must say - I love mine and use them every time my wife gets on the boat from the beach - I pull the pin and swing the traveller out of the way - or take it off. If I use the swim ladder, I swing the traveller out of the way first as well. It also swings out of the way while I?m operating the outboard, which I usually do with the rudder in the up position - whenever I'm backing up to the beach or in the shallows. Rhodies remember - the Centerboard and Rudder are vulnerable to damage while backing up (intentionally or unintentionally). Always fully raise the CB while backing up in shallow water, launching or tied up. Ric Dadventure Hampton Bays, NY PS Here is a pic of what might happen when you launch with the Center Board control line unsecured which allows the CB to drop. I successfully retrieved the boat in the fall of 2021, then relaunched to one the boat forward on the trailer, my helper had released the ?redline like I asked him to, but he released the CB line instead of the jib fuller line (also red) and I didn?t realize it. As this happened the boat over forward on its own. I was thrilled. I didn?t notice that the boat had sunk onto its trailer and filled with water to a few inches above the cabin sole until I pulled it back out and noticed water pouring out of the CB trunk. What a mess.! I ordered a new CB cap from Stan and I made the repairs myself. Richard F.

During normal low tide the keel is off the bottom by a few inches. When the tide is below normal, sometimes the keel rests on the sandy/small stone bottom. Sometimes this results in a small stone getting wedged between the CB and the trunk. The only way to clear it is to dive under the boat. I have a long shank screw driver that I use to scrape the stone out. I imagine marine growth could do the same thing and be remedied the same way. If your CB pendant is loose, be sure to be out of the way when the CB swings down. I often set the pedant to about half way, then make the dive. For the old style center board ( don?t know which you have) the small turning blocks could be bent or jammed also. The blocks are only available in the UK. Good Luck! Ric Dadventure Richard F.

They then lift her to paint above the roller and the bunks. Those of us who have been around Rhodes 22s know better than to lift from the bottom, even with a v-block. The hull was never designed to support the weight of the boat in this area. The hull can be repaired by a competent glass mechanic. The interior, electrical and mechanical system damage may result in insurance "totaling" the boat. How much insurance does the yard have?

Chris, where was yours ?manhandled?? I used GEB Marina on Green Street, Tuckerton, for many years as there were so few travel lifts on the island, especially that catered to smaller sailboats.

While I am not certain this to be true, the position of the roller seems to be below the level of it appears that the boat eventually "climbs" off of the roller as it approaches the biw stop i.e. the roller does not permnently support the Rhodes.

I should add that the CB is stuck because I didn't raise the penant line when the trailer roller, tucked the CB into the keel when taking the boat out of the water last season. The penant line is sandwiched I feel in between the keel & CB. The CB on my boat is the old style and the same shape as the rudder. It is nice to hear someone else "dives" under to fix the issue.

I moor my boat in shallow water. During normal low tide the keel is off the bottom by a few inches. When the tide is below normal, sometimes the keel rests on the sandy/small stone bottom. Sometimes this results in a small stone getting wedged between the CB and the trunk. The only way to clear it is to dive under the boat. I have a long shank screw driver that I use to scrape the stone out. I imagine marine growth could do the same thing and be remedied the same way. If your CB pendant is loose, be sure to be out of the way when the CB swings down. I often set the pedant to about half way, then make the dive. For the old style center board ( don?t know which you have) the small turning blocks could be bent or jammed also. The blocks are only available in the UK. Good Luck! Ric Dadventure Richard F.

In fact, you will probably find that new silicone bedding does not bond well to surfaces that have been supposedly scrubbed clean. The trouble is that old silicone can be deeply embedded in the pores of gelcoat and wood, invisible to the naked eye. https://www.practical-sailor.com/boat-maintenance/ps-tests-adhesive-removers and Many companies, including Pettit?who have launched a new line of caulks, offer new UV-resistant and paintable polyether blends that can be used in lieu of silicone, which has a reputation of leaving behind invisible residue that can interfere with the adhesion of subsequent coatings of paint or varnish on the bedded fitting, or even on the adjacent surfaces. If you have to remove silicone or remove stubbornly adhered polyurethane caulk like 3M 5200, check out our Practical Sailor?s test of adhesive removers . https://www.practical-sailor.com/blog/the-right-caulk-for-your-boat I can confirm from experience that it can be nearly impossible to get anything to seal to surfaces that were previously exposed to silicone caulk. I've had to use a digester solution to remove the silicone from the gelcoat.

The bow sits lower on the water avoiding the problem. My yard was sloped which added to the "stern low" problem. I would raise the tongue with a floor jack and take the trailer jack up into the towing position then drop the trailer tongue to the ground thereby lowering the bow and avoiding the flooded lazerette. *Thanks and Stay Well,* *Stephen Staum* *s/v Pinafore* *Needham, MA* On Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 1:17 PM Tony Jonaitis via Rhodes22-list < rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org> wrote: > Okay, our Rhodes is still on the trailer.
