Matt, Thanks for the information. Now we have enough to help you. If you have a digital camera, pictures save us a lot of time and guessing. Rummy In a message dated 8/11/2010 2:13:49 P.M.

My wife and I recently moved to New Hampshire a stones throw from Lake Winnipesaukee. I have been itching to get a sailboat for a very long time. I have always admired the Rhodes designs, I originally was interested in a 19 and saw the 22 and had to get it. Recently one came available in Southern NH and now I am here very confused with my new boat. We plan on sailing the Lake as well as trailering to the coast of Maine and Cape Cod. I have been on this site quite a bit as we were looking for the boat. Everyone seems very knowledgeable and helpful. The hull is in great shape, the interior needs work and all the wiring redone. It is a 76, no IMF, there is not a traveler or stern rail and I am lost trying to figure out how to run the mainsail sheet. Is there a way to post pics of the set up?

Tell us a little about yourself and your boat, how is she equipped and where do you sail? Rummy In a message dated 8/11/2010 12:42:23 P.M.

I know I am going to have many questions for you experienced owners. The first being how do I run my mainsheet? I have no stern rail or traveler. Is it possible to post some pics of the set up, which I think would be helpful. Also, can anyone give me the dimensions of the 100, 135 and 150 jib? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
