[Rhodes22-list] Introduction

[Lowe, Rob]

Sean,
I love the IMF and it's what drew me to the Rhodes also.  My first Rhodes had standard main and hank on jib and I kept looking until I found the IMF and furling jib.  My new boat has electric start and full electrical system.  The electric start is real nice and I like the electric motor lift too.  I've got a hand held radio which does just fine for my inland lake sailing.  I would like a depth gauge and will add that next year.  I have the linkage system but it's currently broken.  The only time I would really use it is maneuvering in my slip area.  I think your price range is reasonable, you just have to be diligent about the search, good boats at good prices are hard to find. - rob

Hi Rob,

Well, I'm trying to narrow down my list of must-have features. At this point, those would be the IMF main, since that's actually what drew me to the Rhodes in the first place. I figure I'll be single handing a lot, and the thought of trying to flake the main over the boom by myself was pretty unappealing. The second is a working electrical system, since I'll definitely want to have a radio on Lake Michigan. The motor mount and tiller linkage system would also be great, though I can live without that. As far as other features go, I'll take what I can get. My price range right now is $8000-$15000, though I'm not really planning to buy until after the first of the year, so that may change. Is that realistic at all?

-Sean

Sean,
Welcome aboard.  Ah, a youngster among us.  Some of us here have kids your age.  What are you looking for, features and price wise in a Rhodes?  - rob
