[Rhodes22-list] Pat Maundrell - another question???

[molly p. maundrell]

 I am new to sailing and only know Rhodes boat by reputation, which of 
course is very good.

I am looking for a traileable sailboat with a nice size cabin, in the 19-24 
foot range. During my search, which I  also used to educating myself on what 
features/style and design I liked, I soon realized what turned me on. That 
being a boat which character and charm! I was surprised to learn how hard it 
is to find these characteristics on most boat, especially the newer models. 
I When I found the Rhodes 22 boat on e bay, I thought it might be an 
opportunity to have one of these classics. However, when I reviewed the 
overall condition, (which I estimated to be a 3, on a 1-10 scale) , I 
realized that the boat was going to need more work and dollars than it was 
probably worth. It is for this reason that I decided not to go ahead and bid 
on this boat. The guy I talk to a the marina was very helpful and honest in 
telling me all he knew about the boat.

Since this is my wife's e mail, and I am taking up to much space with all 
the info I receive from various boat inquires, I must limit my sources. 
Although I enjoy reading all your comments, I must ask to me removed from 
your list.

Thanks Pat
