[Rhodes22-list] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Re: Demo sail possible in NW lower Michigan?

[Stan Spitzer]

Bill, I can't handle all this old adulation without bringing up the new 
feature no one has mentioned since no Rhodie has experienced it, yet; 
the Rhodes /*inboard *electric  propulsion. /True, at $15K it is 
fabulously expensive, but worth it.  So much so that if not in the 
immediate budget you should get it first and add the boat later.
