Rodney,

This is Stan, builder of your boat.? Charles has been kind enough to 
handle the parts part of the business and will hopefully continue to do 
so.? I have been off line with some computer problems and this is my 
first try since its repair; hope it's working.

While owning a Rhodes is like wearing a badge of how bright its owner 
is, and while looking to the Rhodes List will get you the best answers 
your questioning can find anywhere on land or sea, questions like yours 
are best directed to me.? The reason, a terrible dumb notion that if we 
come up with a better way, we do it in the next boat. This can have 
owners familiar with what is on their year boat and anxious to help you, 
not necessarily tuned into how your year boat is built.

Send an email to me at <stan at generalboats.com>and I will go over the 
technicalities re this upgrading.

Stan,
I would like to get the tiller/motor connector for my Rhodes 2000 that I
purchased from General Boats in 2017.
I previously purchased General Boats parts through Charles and the
transaction went very smoothly.

Thanks for the info Stan, do you have Charlie?s contact to follow up on the
availability of traveller and motor-tiller unit?  Thanks again for your
help, and for taking time to  get back to me. Seems your computer bugs
seemed to be ironed out.

Welcome Rodney!  There's a few other R22s in the midwest including one in
Kansas and a couple where I sail at Lake Manawa in Iowa.

Where do you sail in OKC?

Rodney,
Welcome to the best owners club out there. I used to live in Lawton. I
figure you sail Lake Hefner. You might try sailing Lake Ellsworth for a
slightly different experience. The mountain down there plays with the wind
direction a little making for a fun challenge..

Last Spring I built a combination Boat Pole/ Whisker Pole Combo that is
stored upright in front of the mast.  I fiberglassed a carabiner in one end
and a boat pole tip into the other. When used as a whisker pole the boat
pole tip is inserted into the clew of the 135% genoa and the carabiner end
clips on to a bale on the mast.
<https://www.jeffsmithphoto.net/Boats/Whisker-Boat-Pole/n-WnpmmF/>.
To store, the carabiner end slides up on the mast secured by a large bale
that was a part of the mast raising system and the boat pole end rests in
the lower mast bale. There are two pieces of swim tubes attached to prevent
rattling. The outer yellow pole was wrapped in blue 3M electrical tape to
match the color scheme of Radiant.

Very impressive Jeff, but nice and simple too. Can you explain or send a
photo of the bale set up?
Also, I am planning on setting up a simple jibe preventer for my downwind
journeys. Details of other systems gratefully received.

example of preventing a boat from sinking at the dock is one, but only in
the situation where the boat is connected to shore power, which is
configured to keep the battery charged, and where the charging rate is as
least as great as the bulge pump power draw.

because the carpet made the bilge difficult to access. Now, the bilge is
easy to check, and when I find water (my hull-deck joint leaks), it's a
quick job to take care of it with a bucket, a cup, and a sponge.

Rodney and Crew,

Before I forget here is Charles direct contact info:

 ??? Charles Gabriel <charles.gabriel at gmail.com>

The info on your two initial items of interest is a mixed bag. The new 
traveler invention is one of those middle of the night inspirations that 
it turned out we can build all of, in-house. When we discovered that 
Yamaha had finally discovered sailboats and built a motor perfect for 
our needs (standard 20 inch long shaft, high thrust meaning low RPM 
motor sporting a larger 4 bladed sailboat pitch prop) along with both 
its speed and direction controls in a single fitting that mounts on the 
sailboat's tiller, we were in heaven.? We knew that coming up with a 
linkage system from the Rhodes rudder head to that motor is what we do 
in our sleep and we are going to have an outboard auxiliary set up like 
no other. And we did; and owners loved it.?? But
 ?? ??? ???? to be continued? . . . .

Jeff, 

Thanks for sharing this.  I have been hoping to add a whisker pole to my
boat.  

Question: did you rig guys to control the position of the pole or do you
just use the jib sheets?

I have cropped into the shot of the pole on the mast.  it should give an
idea of the 2 bales.  Maybe best viewed on a computer for detail. So far I
have just used the sheets for control, but may add a downhaul. In the shots
shown it was blowing 15-18 knots and there was not too much spill from the
top of the jib.
I should have said "epoxied" instead of "fiberglassed" in the original
post. More closeups of the 2 ends of the pole were added.

Hi All,

S/V Dynamic Equilibrium has a whisker pole and a spinnaker pole.  Both poles
are rigged with double bridles for a topping lift and a vang.  In light air,
the weight of the pole tends to collapse the headsail.  You need the topping
lift to support the weight of the pole and allow the headsail to inflate.
Conversely, in heavy air, the clew of the headsail tends to rise up and
cause an inefficient, unstable, too full sail shape.  You need the vang to
hold the clew of the headsail down.

Using a double bridle for the topping lift and the vang keeps the snap
shackles over the foredeck vs out at the end of the pole.  This enables an
end for end pole swap when gibing the headsail, which is safer on this size
boat, especially in heavy air.

When sailing, I stow the whisker pole and spinnaker pole in chocks mounted
on the cabin roof and foredeck.  This keeps the windage and weight down low
and won?t catch a sheet or the genoa clew when tacking.  At a dock or at
anchor, I can store my poles vertically up against the front of the mast.
This clears the foredeck of tripping hazards when you want to lounge up
there.  I wind the double bridles around the poles and secure them with
Velcro straps to secure them for storage.  It?s a racing setup; but, it
works very well for cruising.

Thanks Jeff,
 A photo (or in this case, photos) is worth a thousand words.
I still have a question though. 
Why am I seeing two bulbous coverings of blue tape when I only see one
bulbous spot on the origin pole. Is that just for storage against the mast?
Stan, if your computer is working, I would love to see your thoughts on the
use of a whisker pole when wing on wing and also your thoughts on using a
jibe preventer?
 Any thoughts from other Rhodies obviously welcome too!

Hi All,

The attached photo shows S/V Dynamic Equilibrium flying her triradial
spinnaker on a light air close reach.  You can see the topping lift attached
to the double bridle on the spinnaker pole and led to a block on the mast at
about ? mast height.  From there, the topping lift is led down the mast and
back to the cockpit.  The vang is not rigged in this light air shot.  The
spinnaker pole is almost touching the forestay on this close reach.

Note how the sail is fully inflated despite the lack of wind.

You can also see the spinnaker snuffer sock all bunched up at the head of
the spinnaker.  I think the whisker pole was stowed down below in the cabin
in this shot.

Hi Roger,.
 That sounds like a great set up although I am too nervous a sailor to
consider a spinnaker. However I really would like to figure a way to use a
vang and/or preventer for the main on downwind runs. Any ideas or photos
anyone?

The second bulge (which is probably pipe insulation rather than swim
noodles) was added to further stop rattling.  They may also keep the pole

I have a remote control & receiver available if someone needs it.
I purchased to replace the remote control for the electric motor lift that
came with Rhodes. The existing one was not reliable.
 I then decided to have up-down switches installed next to the outboard
since I wanted to be next to the outboard as I was raising or lowering the
motor.
The package includes a remote fob, a received and instructions for
installation and troubleshooting.

Hi Roger,

I am finally prepared to install a Tiller Pilot on s/v Liber and am hoping
to get some additional advice before I start.  

1) What is the best way to route the wiring harness to the starboard coaming
pocket?
2) Did you connect your Tiller Pilot to the electric panel or bypass that
and connect it to the house battery directly?  I do understand that an
inline fuse is required in either case.

I do plan on eventually installing a chartplotter and integrating the Tiller
Pilot with that, but that is a project for another day.

Thank you for all your contributions to this forum!

Mike,

I?ve had a Raymarine ST1000+ Tiller Pilot on S/V Dynamic Equilibrium for
about 15 years.  I found it most convenient to use the Raymarine Pedestal
Socket to mount the ST1000+ onto the top of the gunnel.  I believe I used
the shortest socket assembly 38 mm (P/N: D026) to adjust the vertical
position to level out the ST1000+ relative to the tiller.  But, you should
measure your boat before ordering this part.  If the ST1000+ is not level
relative to the tiller; then, the geometry changes as the actuator strokes
and the effective gain of the controller will not be constant.  Variable
controller gain is not conducive to holding a steady course.  You will also
need some pushrod extensions.  I believe I used the 152 mm (P/N: D008) + the
25 mm (P/N: D003) pushrod extensions.  But, again, you should measure your
boat before ordering these parts.  On the tiller, I used the standard tiller
pin, epoxied in place.  Be careful to get compound angle of the pin correct
on the tiller when yo
 u drill the hole.  Remember you only get one chance to drill this hole
correctly.  If you screw it up; then, the tiller is ruined!  You want the
pin to be vertical with the tiller fully lowered and located 460 mm from the
centerline of the rudder?s pintles.  The Pedestal Socket comes with a big
backing plate to facilitate thru bolting.  I did not reinforce the gunnel
and have had no issues with structural failure.  I mounted the waterproof
plug and socket on the side of the cockpit coaming aft of the ST1000, so it
would not obstruct seating while the ST1000+ is in use.

If you only want to use your ST1000+ as a basic autopilot with no
communication to other instruments via the Seatalk bus or NMEA 0183 bus;
then, all you need to provide is 12 amps DC power.  The circuit should be
separately fused.  If you want to use the hand held remote &/or communicate
with other instruments; then, contact me off the list and I will try to
assist.

Basically, it?s a pretty easy installation although there are a few
potential booby traps.  The supplied owner?s handbook is pretty good.  If
you take your time, follow the instructions, and measure twice/cut once;
then, you?ll be fine.  It?s a very useful accessory and I really like mine.
It?s been totally bulletproof.

My ST1000+ does best on points of sail forward of the beam, ie beam reaching
up to close hauled.  On points of sail aft of the beam, ie broad reach to a
run, there is usually a following sea.  When that following sea is hitting
the boat from a stern quarter, it requires the helmsman to anticipate the
effect of a wave by counter steering as the wave is passing under the boat.
The ST1000+ (Or any autopilot) has no way to anticipate anything.  So, it?s
always in reactive mode and the steered course can look a little wobbly.  It
helps to reduce sail area and distribute the sail area fore/aft to keep the
helm balanced.  Of course, these are conditions that require the most skill
and attention from a human helmsman as well.  The ST1000+ is not as good at
maintaining a downwind course as a skilled helmsman who is paying attention.
But, it?s better than a newby helmsman or a tired &/or inattentive helmsman.

Ric,

I'm afraid to ask what you do that you could not do without it. ;-)

I love mine, too.  And to think that I used to use a "tiller jock" to lock
the tiller in place when I single handed with my two year old. With the
autopilot, we could have both been sailing from the bow with our feet in the
water using the remote to steer!

Mike, 

I'm not Roger, but I'll offer some of my experience anyway.

First, I hope you've found Bill Wickman's write-up of the installation of a
Raymarine ST-1000 on his boat:
http://rhodes22.org/document.html?documents/TillerPilotSetuponRhodes22.pdf

To answer your second question first, I had an unused circuit on my
electrical panel, and used that to power the tiller pilot.  Since that
placed a breaker into the circuit, I did not also include and inline fuse.
It seems to me that would be redundant.

As for the routing of wires...  If you have the standard General Boat
galley, there's an area that's below the electrical panel, above the
counter-top and behind the sliding panels.  If you drill a hole in the aft
panel of this area, you will have an opening into the interior space of the
starboard coaming.  Do this close to the hull, just to be sure you're not
drilling a hole into the cockpit.

Best of luck,

Rodney,

Although you can see the archive of messages in a web page, this is strictly
an email list*.  The only way to start new threads or respond to an existing
thread is by sending an email to the list.  

Are you getting postings from the list in your email inbox?

--Peter

* This may change in the future, but at its core, it will still be an email
list.
