<P>Dear Rummy or whatever,</P>
<P> I'm not pouting. I am just a little frustrated when I can get very little info from the mfg of the boat I have. GB is a very small company. This I understand. When I called, I was told there no owner's manuals <EM>or </EM>parts manuals for a boat as old as mine. (maybe it was made before Stan started making the Rhodes) Owners here on this list all each other out. Someone was kind enough to scan their owner's manual and offer it to MMeltzer who had it converted to a pdf file and shared it with us all. There are no pictures and many mistakes made by the OCR software. I was re-typing it in my spare time so I could possibly send it back out in a corrected Word format. Some one asked if this would be violating copyrights for a manual that Stan doesn't offer. Stan surely got all rights to this literature when he bought the company. If Stan printed a tech manual for a boat as old as mine with diagrams, drawings and close-up pictures of the systems,rigging and hardware, and sail and rig tuning information I would gladly buy it and have it delivered overnight. What I know about sailing and sailboats wouldn't fill a thimble. I am at the mercy of all here and rely on the experience and expertise of other owners. I called GB because Stan is the "guru" and all I got was one word answers and told to "e-mail me". first response was next day....folow up was 2 weeks. I am desperate for information which GB doesn't have and someone sending a copy of their old owner's manual is against the law. And I am wrong for being frustrated?????? <BR><BR>Sprocket or whatever<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Dear Sprocket or whatever,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I don't understand you. You ask questions of this list which is comprised of
<DIV></DIV>owners, not the manufacturer and when you get answers you don't like, you
<DIV></DIV>pout. GET OVER IT. If you want help, play nice or take your boat and go
<DIV></DIV>elsewhere.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Rummy
