[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22 near Northern VT

[ejor2 at aol.com]

Eric and Rob,

Although I have not finished putting this together and so can't speak to how it will really work, here are the plans for the mast raising system I am going to try. I only plan on taking the mast down once a year so I didn't want to put a lot of money in it. I will be giving it a try in the next few weeks so I'll report back then.

Eric J.

Hello folks,
I am wondering if any of you are in/near Northern VT (we are 20 minuts north
f Burlington).  I have a Rhodes 22 Continental (1977) that I am considering
uying.  However, I have some experience with liking a boat on paper and
hen not liking it very much "in person".  The boat I am looking at is about
 hours away in Western NY.  I am loking for a situation where my family can
ome around and look over the boat.  A 1970's vintage boat is ideal since
hat is what we are looking at, but really any Rhodes 22 would be good.
Some other questions...We will be trailering our boat all season, and so I
m wondering how many of you who do the same have gotten your rigging time
own to less than an hour.  Please specify if you have the IMF though
ecause the boat I am looking at does not have IMF.
I thnk that the quality of the boat and the thought process that has gone
nto it is excellent, but I cannot deny that if the rigging of the boat is
oo big an obstacle then we will probably not get out very often (we = me,
y wife and 4 kids).
Thank you all in advance!
ric Larson
