[Rhodes22-list] Leaky bow ports; chain plate question; and boomslider block

[stan]

I want to thank everyone who had kind words to say about the Rhodes rudder 
clutch, so we have discontinued that model.

the new model has not one but two lines from the rudder blade and the clutch 
pressure is adjustable with a large knob.

this system is easily available by buying a new boat - if you do not need a 
new boat, throw that part of the package away.
