 Dear Rhodies:

Wanted to ask a question about Manasquan Inlet in New Jersey.

Has anyone left the inlet?? I plan on doing so at high tide and ride the current but I have heard it is still a difficult inlet.? Wanted to get your thoughts and advice.

Thanks,
Lou Moore

All,

A few years ago I described my method of using a stern/transom crutch which has 
since worked well for me.  In view of recent posts about the Rhodes 22 Camper, I 
thought I would take a picture to illustrate the concept, which you may be able 
to employ in some fashion.  It is attached for you to see.

I mount this rig on top of the transom, fastened both to the boat and backup 
stability from lashing to the stern rail.  Just a little insurance.  The bottom 
tube can easily be extended so as to match the stub height at the mast step, the 
other end of the mast support while camping.  Anything to keep it solid and 
simple.  Even though cradled in the 'V', a few turns of 3/8" line is prudent as 
the center urethane wheel torns freely.  The free turning wheel is the feature I 
use in geriatric stepping, but needs a brake in this application.

I hope this can be of value to some skippers.

Salud,

Art

DK,

We will certainly welcome you as a new skipper, when you find a boat, a might 
scarce, as you have noticed.  You will probably get a reply from Dave Bradley, 
who is in the Seattle area also.  Not a finer boat on the water.  The boats are 
reasonably available as recycles from GB, and although more expensive, are 
already outfittted and well renewed.  Like any investment, no ROI without the 
'I'.

Holler at any of us as we can help you get started.

R,

Just got this email from a high school friend.  He's kind of like Stan in
that he only sells one boat, although with the Euro exchange rate it's now a
little over a million dollars.  Nice to hear that a yacht saleman can
appreciate quality no matter what size it comes in.

I think our boat tunes will be Jimmy Buffett, Dave Mathews, Springsteen,
and probably some Neil Young.  And times for silence, of course.  Nice
having them on board. - rob

Finally got tunes on the boat!  Sure makes a difference.  I followed
Rummy's suggestion and mounted the speakers in the front of the laz.
Great place as the sound is dispersed and fills the whole boat with
music.  I got a "marine grade" unit with speakers made by Dual that West
Marine was selling early in the spring for $99.  Great to jam to some
Dave Mathews and Jimmy Buffett while cruising down the lake. - rob

Well, it's interesting that somebody came up with this, but at 48V and

Weighs the same as an 8 or 9.9.  You'll have to have one hell of a

And according to their data is equivalaent to a 4-6hp 4-stroke so same
weight for engine, massive battery bank and less power.

A guy on our lake has a 16 foot Precision powered by a Torqeedo Travel.
He says he loves it and can get two hours out of a charge.  Just carries
the battery pack back and forth from home.

Rummy,

With only an equivalent 4-6 hp to a gasoline outboard, I would only trust it
in very protected inland waters without currents.

All,

Since long before I could spell Rhodes 22 I have used either a boom vang or main 
sheet  blocks with a gin pole to step and unstep the mast.  It was a heavy task 
with a conventional mast, moreso with an IMF, although very do-able.  I think Ed 
K used and recommended the same setup, not sure.  We already have the MA of the 
main sheet rig, what about getting better than 3:1 or 4:1 ratio?  I am going to 
try the Harken recommended vang setup described on www.harken.com/rigtips/vang.php 
and report if anyone is interested.  The setup is 8:1 Cascaded Fiddle, the 
second diagram on the right side.  Doesn't really look more complicated, another 
block and some additional line.  Thoughts?

Some months ago I trialed two triple blocks in order to get 6:1 MA and found it 
was no practical advantage over what I use now.  I was using 3/8" line, maybe 
more friendly with 5/16.  

This may be helpful for other poor Rhoadies out there.  Post me off-list if you 
prefer not being a dart board.

Rob,

Hope you had a good sail yesterday.

How hefty is his battery pack?

The price on these electrics is a mite hefty.

Art,
Agreed, price a bit hefty.  You know, I'm going to have to check this
out a bit more.  I was just speaking to him on the water as we cruised
around last night.  I'll discuss this with him next time I see him and
get back with you.

Sailing was weak, no wind.  But Wednesday nights is "Beer Can Regatta"
nights (excuse to cruise around in  a group, drink some cold barley pop,
and have water fights when appropriate).  More of a social event, and
for that, the evening was excellent. - Rob

Rob,

Hope you had a good sail yesterday.

How hefty is his battery pack?

The price on these electrics is a mite hefty.

Rob,

Sounds like good sport to me...

I have started using a water pump for washdowns on the water - marinas are 
getting really sensitive about fresh water use.  It is also a dependable backup 
in a water fight - throws water about 15 feet.  Now, that's real ACTION!

If you want to see a real neat electric motor installation, for sail boats, 
check out www.re-e-power.com .   IMO the main drawback, other than the 
price, is the weight of the batteries.  Another Rhodes owner on the site led 
me to this and if he wants to jump in, he is much more knowledgeable than I 
am.

The model I was referring to is the E-pod 2000, not the outboard model.

Ron,

Wow, the right power on the right lake!  I think the batteries would
actually be an advantage for sailing performance since  weight would
transfer from the transom (outboard) forward (batteries).

Don't know if anyone gets Sail Magazine, but they have had a couple of
articles on the trials or repowering a diesel driven boat with electric
hybrid propulsion.  Too big for our boats, but it's interesting to see
if things will progress this way.
