Hello Rhodes Owners:

I have been using a home-made gin pole system for raising and lowering my mast but I would like to build or purchase the system similar to the one that Stan developed - the metal pole with winch attached that hooks on mid-point to the mast and is affixed to the foredeck via a bolted-down block. Does anyone know where I might purchase one or if there are plans anywhere that might guide me in building one?

I have seen a number of similar systems on-line but I'd like to have the correct dimensions for the Rhodes 22 if I take it upon myself to construct one.

Thanks for your help in advance.
