[Rhodes22-list] I gave Stan $1000 and all I got was this email address

[Tom Dorsey]

Lynn, I'm also in the hunt for a boat and have corresponded with Stan a
few times as I determine what I need and want in the way of a boat.  I
think you have the time to investigate and decide on the features that
are important as you go through the process.  I have the found the
members of the list to be more than helpful in assisting with questions.
 I'm sure there may be someone in your area who might be able to walk
you through the boat and  give you an idea of what would work best for
you.

Good Luck.

tom

So I guess I'll have to make the best of it. I'm in Philly, thinking 
of sailing next year at the Jersey Shore. I'm talking to Stan about a 
recycled Rhodes and whenever he asks me if I want this or that, I 
have to tell him that I have no idea because I haven't spent a week 
on a Rhodes or even a weekend.

My intention is to do short cruises, 4 or 5 days or so and some 
weekends. I am definitely a comfort sailor, not a speed demon. i'm a 
writer and i like the idea of writing aboard.  i wonder about things 
like where to keep the laptop and whether the wine cooler should be 
portable or built in. don't care much about gennakers and cunninghams 
or getting another two degrees closer to the wind.

I do wonder about what sort of instrumentation makes sense. Where do 
you hang the foulies? stuff like that.
Anyone who's wondered these same things, particularly if you've 
wondered them along the east or gulf coasts of the U.S., I'd love to 
hear from you.

Lynn
