[Rhodes22-list] Anybody out there?

[Rod Ellner]

We just got Toy Blew out of storage Sat.  Now she is sitting in the  
yard with the mast up & looking beautiful.  Even the Rv people  
commented what a good looking boat she is. From a trailerable boat 
(with the mast down) to a piece of art(when the mast is up). We love  
our Rhodes 22.

I forgot who had asked but the pins on our shrouds are 1/4" dia x 3/4"  
long
. The fore stat pin is 3/16" dia x 1" long.
