[Rhodes22-list] IMF Mast and Sail

[jpd9668]

Peter is correct. There are sheeves on the masthead. I thought Ric was asking about inside the mast. The aft sheeve does carry the topping lift. I was going to use the forward sheeve to place a halyard for an anchor lamp until I could install a tricolor on top of the masthead cap.Thanks, Peter for clearing that up.Joe DempseyTrojan 42m/v VoyagerEx- Rhodes 22s/v RespiteDeltaville, VASent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

When I got the boat from GB, a line through the port sheaves was used as the topping lift for the boom.  I added a line through the starboard sheaves to serve as a halyard for my Doyle UPS headsail.--Peter> On 2023-02-25, at 23:03:25 EST, Joe Dempsey wrote:>> There is no halyard in the mast.
