[Rhodes22-list] NEW RHODES OWNER

[DIANE RUSSELL]

I JUST TOOK MY NEW-TO-ME RHODES OUT FOR THE FIRST SAIL SUNDAY. IT HAD BEEN SITTING UNUSED FOR 3 YEARS AND NEEDS SOME REVITALIZING. I DID FINALLY GET THE FURLERS LOOSENED UP AND GOT BOTH SAILS OUT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE WRINKLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MAINSAIL. IS THIS NORMAL? AND IS THERE A WAY TO REFINISH THE CABIN HATCH DOOR? I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS REALLY MADE OUT OF. LASTLY, I DIDN'T GET THE TABLE OR HATCH PEDESTALS. CAN THEY BE REPLACED FROM GENERAL BOATS OR , IF I NEED TO GET THEM FROM WEST MARINE WHAT SIZE ARE THEY? THANKS FOR ANY HELP ON THESE ISSUES. I'M SURE I WILL COME UP WITH MORE QUESTIONS. 

I'M SAILING THE BOAT ON LAKE ONTARIO OUT OF OLCOTT, NY. I SINGLEHAND, USUALLY, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT TIME WITH THIS BOAT.
