The recent nor'easter on the Atlantic coast caused some damage to my Rhodes and removed my engine, depositing into the bay behind Long Beach Island. The good news is that I was able to get the engine (a 20 year old 8hp Yamaha) running again last week. The bad news is that it also severed my tiller about 10" inboard from the rudder head. I'm going to need a replacement. Does anyone have a spare that they would be willing to sell? I only need the tiller, not the rudder or rudder head.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Try WEST Marine.  They have replacement tillers for ~$220 each.

Hi Roger,

Wow, thank you. I never would have thought that it would be a standard part. One of those will work. The two that appear to be the closest are type A and type G. Do you know which would fit best?

Thank you, but I think I'm going to get a new one from West Marine.

I'm in the same situation.? I spliced in a replacement piece of wood in the rotted area of mine.? Beware... I spoke to West Marine and their tillers are short.? I believe they said 43.5".? They did not have the longer ones anymore.

I hope this helps.

I just noticed this item on the West Marine link on that tiller question: a?Ball-Lok Quick-Release Pin. I?ve always wondered about them.?
When raising and lowering my R22 mast?I think I spend most of my time monkeying with those round wire clips. This Ball-Lok Quick-Release pin would be so much easier, especially for the forestay, but can they be trusted? ?Anyone have experience with them??

Message-ID: <CAEhtY2Ji0ZyMurSs+Jzc2Ce3SUp2MDLc+8HQuOcMWc1GWtSC7g@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Everyone:

I have previously posted on the list about my desire to sell my 1978 Rhodes
22. Though I have received many inquiries and a couple of visits, I have
not yet gotten an offer. So my current plan is to donate her to Catholic
Charities along with the trailer after the coming week.

I will sell the 9.9 Yamaha four stroke electric start, long shaft from the
year 2017 with only about 50 hours on it separately for $1,700.

If anyone is interested in the boat, I will offer it for $2,500 without the
motor. Otherwise I will send her off to pasture in a couple of weeks.

As I mentioned previously, here are some of her most recent upgrades.

* New *Precision Sail *Genoa - Bought in 2024
* New *ProFurl* jib furling system - installed in 2024
* New stainless steel bow pulpit and stern rail to replace the old aluminum
railings from the original construction. 2023
* New mainsail cover - 2025
* Newly covered cockpit cushions - 2022
* All wiring replaced - 2022
* New Garmin GPS system - 2021
* VHF Marine radio installed - 2022
* New windex and mastlight - 2026
* All original lights replaced with LED lights 2021
* Solar panel for maintaining battery
* New tires and wheels on trailer - 2021 Less than 200 miles on both.
* Bimini top (not currently installed)
* Two seats to be mounted at stern (not currently installed)
* Custom-made canvas cover for winter storage

I was using one on my forestay.  I did have it come loose once.  Sitting in
almost zero wind with the powerboat chop rocking me side to side, no load
on the sail, I noticed it came loose and quickly reattached it. Not a
problem that time but I lost confidence.

I've replaced all my cotter rings with those from west marine where one end
bends towards the inside so you can easily attach them without pliers etc.

Has anyone used a drop end pin to secure the fore stay? It has a spring and toggle cam at the end that looks secure but I would be interested to know if anyone has experience with them. 
I have used them for years with my traveller where they have worked well but that is much less critical than the fore stay.

Thanks to both of you! ?Patrick I?ll check out the West Marine ones - 1 or 2?of my rings have that feature but most don?t. ?That?s good that you noticed the other came loose but scary nonetheless.?

My Rhodes came with Ball-Lok clevis pins everywhere and they have been very convenient and completely reliable for the past six years.

I might switch to ball locks for my front stays also to make rigging
quicker, but I would caution that if the pins have a release button then
they are hollowed out so the strength would be significantly less than a
standard clevis.

Here is a pic from West Marine. Or just search on "west marine cotter
ring".   I don't recall the size right now.

My main issue with the ball-lock style is that they eventually freeze up,
usually in the locked position.  Dedicated lubrication helps, but that's a
lot of attention to small pieces.

I've had better luck with the drop end pins, but again, eventually little
springs fail and then the locking action becomes dependent on gravity.  On
anything that is crucial (like a forestay), I use something as fail-safe as
possible, usually cotter pins secured by rings, or sometimes a shackle,
with the shackle pin secured by wire if it is going to be in place for a
long time.  Since the R22 shrouds are effectively covered by the
combination of the other shrouds and fore-or-back stay, I am comfortable
with using one of the easier options on them.

Good evening, fellow Rhodes 22 aficionados!

Back on September 13, I sent the Rhodes 22 list an email (copied again at
the bottom of this one) in response to the conversation about a Rhodes 22
meet-up at the Annapolis Boat Show, as was done after Stan passed away in
honor of his decades of presence there.  I said I would be there (see
below) and asked for anyone who was planning to come to let me know.  Both
before and since, several people have indicated interest in coming on the
email list, but always couched in terms like "if I can make it".  So at
this point, I'm not sure whether anyone else is planning to show up.

If there is even one other, I will gladly be there as planned!  I am eager
to meet fellow Rhodies, present, past and prospective.  But if not, I have
no particular desire to dine alone at the Galway.

So I'm asking you to let me know by 5:00 pm this Friday, October 16  if you
are planning to come to the Galway Saturday evening the 17th.  If someone
does let me know, we're on!  And will welcome any others who wander in
unannounced!  But if no one has let me know by 5 pm Friday, my wife and I
will shift our Saturday plans.

Thanks!

Good evening, fellow Rhodes 22 aficionados!

My schedule was narrowing and arrangements had to be made, so I have picked
a time and place to be in Annapolis during the boat show in the hopes that
some of the rest of you will be there at the same time and place!

So, as of now, based on others? comments, I will take a table at the Galway
Bay Pub at 63 Maryland Ave, Annapolis MD 21401 at 6:30 pm on Saturday,
October 17.  I?ll place an R22 burgee on it and enjoy Rhodes 22 and Stan
Spitzer stories with whoever comes.

It will encourage me (and help me to choose the right size table) if any
who are coming let me know via this email list AND also by text or
voicemail to 336-380-6962.

This is the only evening I can be there, but I certainly won?t be offended
if folks meet on a different day as well.  Also, if some want to come
earlier, I could probably get there by around 5-5:30.  (9:30 pm is my
curfew, though the Galway is open until midnight.)

As a relatively new owner, I am looking forward to meeting others who know
and enjoy this fine boat!

On the hunt for cockpit and interior cushions for my Rhodes 22. If anyone has some they are not using, such as old ones that need some repair, or just spares, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hey Tom, I might be interested in the 8 hp Tohatsu electric start out board.  That is the description, yes?  Also where are you located?
Thanks

Would you have any interest in selling a few items off your boat before it goes to donation? I bought a 76 model last fall and am working on getting it outfitted. I could use cockpit and cabin cushions, the Bimini, and the chairs! Text me at 8433197491 and we?ll chat about options. Thanks Bill

Hey y?all,

This is my last invitation to a potential gathering at The Galway Bar and Restaurant in Annapolis this Saturday evening, October 17.  Once again, if someone lets me know by tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm, I?m eager to meet you there Saturday to talk Rhodes 22s, sailing, Stan Spitzer and so on.  But if no one does, my wife and I will make other plans for that time, and hope to meet some of you another time.

I wish I could join you. I have never been to the boat show but it is a long and expensive trip and I have become an old man. That happens.

Thank you Graham for letting me know and for considering it.  Perhaps another year, and maybe a different place, but it just didn?t work for this time. 

 It?s ok, it means that I?ll be able to stay an extra half day at my 50th high school reunion. Yet I still hope to meet some of you all in person as time goes on.  The email conversations are fun and helpful, and I expect that in-person would be even more so.

Are there any other Rhodes 22 sailors within a few hours of Savannah, say between Charleston SC and Jacksonville FL, who might be interested in meeting sometime?

 Hi Paul,Although I can't make Annapolis this year, your invitation brought back great memories spent with Stan and other Rhodes owners at previous shows.? I fondly remember back in 2017 when we had an after hours get-together at the Rhodes 22 display.
I hope that you enjoy Annapolis!

I ended up ordering one from these guys:

Cost with shipping for a finished tiller was $305. He was able to adjust the butt width to match my bracket.

Kenwood,

If I had the workshop that I wish I had, it would certainly be an interesting project. Thank you for the inspiration.

No workshop required, you can do glue layup and sanding and varnish on the
deck of the boat if you gotta :)

Message-ID: <CAEhtY2JfPJM9w9qYynd_Y175RPH8bPD4uFUrDJcFy30xNYtL=Q@mail.gmail.com>

I am making one last effort to sell my Rhodes 22 to someone who will
continue to use it. It's a 1978 model but it's been well cared for and in
great shape inside and out. I hauled it out of its slip last Friday after
using it all summer. It is currently at Maryland Marina in Essex,
Maryland.  I am selling it because, at 81, I am ready to move on to
something easier to use on the water. And, my wife and sailing partner has
much less time to sail with me now that she has taken a new full-time job.

I have all the paperwork and titles for the boat and trailer.

I am asking $1700 for the boat and trailer without the motor.  Let me know
in the next day or so since I will be moving ahead with the donation if I
don't hear from anyone.

Hi Tom:

She sounds a lovely boat. The donee will be very lucky.

At 84, I'm also coming to the end of my sailing days, and I'm starting to
look about for a young family to take over. I'd sell it to the right folks
for a dollar at some time in the future.

Cheers,
Shawn

Hey Tom, tell me again about the motor.  Also what would you take for the boat trailer and motor. I?d have to drive over from KS to 
? Bal?more ? anyway ant the prove on your boat is really good.  That would give me 3 Rhodes and two trailers.  Oh, what is the vintage on the trailer?

I am making one last effort to sell my Rhodes 22 to someone who will
continue to use it. It's a 1978 model but it's been well cared for and in
great shape inside and out. I hauled it out of its slip last Friday after
using it all summer. It is currently at Maryland Marina in Essex,
Maryland.  I am selling it because, at 81, I am ready to move on to
something easier to use on the water. And, my wife and sailing partner has
much less time to sail with me now that she has taken a new full-time job.

I have all the paperwork and titles for the boat and trailer.

I am asking $1700 for the boat and trailer without the motor.  Let me know
in the next day or so since I will be moving ahead with the donation if I
don't hear from anyone.

Message-ID: <CANbEFCs+Ach5sGPoSM_+HY+hT9WGc3UVMzC8-HCo5bQVRdD2og@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I I am planning to buy a new suit of sails. I have become aware that Most
Rhodes 22?s came with Doyle super cruise sails.  I am wondering if I could
get some perspective from the list about general quality and durability of
 that sail cloth. How long does it last and how long does it keep a decent
shape?

My boat sits on a mooring about six months out of the year on a big lake in
Minnesota. I do get out there pretty regularly during the summer. It sits
shrink wrapped all winter.

I am mostly interested in durability, though performance would be nice as
well.

I am planning to purchase the 155 Genoa.  I would take your thoughts on
that topic as well.

Many thanks for whatever help or perspective you can give
