Hey Joe, The 1st Rhodes I owned was a new 1976 Rhodes Continental. It had a traditional main and the Rhodes tube furler. The boom could be turned to roll up the main but proved to be a pia. The traveler was just a wire attached to the aft chain plates. There were a few differences on the moulds , just minor compared to the ‘83 that is now in Greece with in mast furling and bar traveler. More differences, both interior and exterior including a CDI furler on the Kansas 1986/2015 boat. I was never clear what made a “Continental “ other than vintage.
