Do you know what you are looking at?

You are under water looking at a

conventional Rhodes centerboard.

One of the advantages of a still in production boat is living and learning.

In the mid eighties GB began working  on a different kind of cb, based on the work of navel architect Nils Lucander.  GB named their version the Diamondboard.

(see  "Services" page for view)

Advantages of the diamondboard:

Less draft.  Simpler maintenance.

Readily self retracts when striking anything; cannot push up and fracture the trunk cap.

                               RIGGING 

The Rhodes has 9 stays:  1 jib stay, 2 back stays, 2 upper

shrouds and 4 lower shrouds. (Stays that support a mast

port and starboard are referred to as shrouds.)  There are

5 comforting scenarios for the 9 stays:  Jib stay failure?   2

forward lower shrouds keep mast from falling on the crew.

4 lower shrouds = no mast pumping (important with IMF).

9 supports work in synergy, limiting the mast's sideways movement when going through the mast raising arc.  The

2 back stays  make  possible  a  novel  shock  absorbing

traveler design  that transforms 'Coming About' from a

'No. No', to a useful alternate coming about option.

Plus, double back stays make for rapid jib stay tensioning.
