[Rhodes22-list] advice needed from litigious Rhodies

Stan,

A premier approach to broadening the markerplace.  Bravo for your insight!  I suspect Catalina owners would love to have the Rhodes features thru an upgrade program.

BTW, my small ad piece in November Sail has not yet produced prospects.

Imagine, your suspected nemisis is cheering for your success!

I don't really think the lack of results in the R27 project was from lack of confidence, rather lack of capital - this would be a huge leap in faith.  The Rhoadie fleet wisdom, in deferring such a bold move to a future point, has been justified, while after the fact, with this sickened economy, which some predictors expect to end no sooner that a year from now.

I hope that the Catalina venture is not an indication that the monumental effort in Annapolis did not pan out.  I suspect your fleet cheerleaders would appreciate knowing how the show worked in producing qualified buyers.
