[Rhodes22-list] Re: Lou's NEW ('81) Rhodes!!

[Lou Rosenberg]

attn R22 list folks,
  I'd like to thank everyone for there support and advice last week.
  I have bought an '81 Rhodes today and will be trailering to Brooklyn 
NY next week for repairs and upgrading.

  Bill Effros' was right in that if the hull looks good and the rigging 
and sails decent, then all the rest can be cleaned up and customized to 
make a delicious pocket cruiser that the Rhodes is known for.

  Boat is very clean in terms of any water damage but did take a nasty 
hit which bent up the bow pulpit and cracked the gelcoat right on the 
prow edge.

  I am reading GB's blue pamphlet directed to new owners right now and 
so far its very helpful!
  Have some digital stills and video that I can post if someone can 
advise on that?

  I plan to shut up and learn and  only ask important related questions 
to my boat so that I can keep my emails centered on the issues of the 
day.
  sail safe everyone.

Lou
  soon to be Christened,
  Everyday Miracles.
