Ed:  Maybe I'll want the powered main & genoa system on my 87th birthday,
but until then I still want a little of that activity on the boat.  Yes,
Elton did deliver...and had lots of stories to share about his on-the-road
adventures.  Thanks!

    George

George,
Did you ask Stan if he could make a powered mainsail or Genoa?
Those kind of devices are just what he dreams of.  Did Elton deliver your
boat or did you go get it?
I did see on a big boat that the maker had a powered mainsail IMF,
so it would not be the first.  You might need another battery for this
project.

Thanks to you all who gave helpful advice on alternatives to the wireless
speaker system I was searching for.  The one I use at home is from RCA
(purchased at Radio Shack) and can be placed anyplace in the house..or
outside. They operate either with "D" batteries or can be plugged into the
nearest household outlet. The transmitter plugs into the phone jacket of the
audio source. For marine use you would probably have to have a smaller
battery source to keep the size down.

My new (recycled) Rhodes is a from-me-for-me gift for my 77th birthday next
week. Decided that I have paid my dues to sit back in a swivel seat, watch
the motor go up-and-down (electrically!), keeping the sun off with my
bimini, and do my arm exercises pulling my mainsail in and out of the mast.
As my younger friends would say: AWESOME!

    George
