[Rhodes22-list] centerboard cap

[FNuttersNY at aol.com]

Actually the boat was built in NJ and was a secial order as I understood 
Stans explanation last March.  I am quite pleased with the "well" set up.  It 
gives the boat a much cleaner line and having the thrust right behind the ruder is 
much more efective it makes for great stearing.  As for the "repair" I sailed 
the boat all summer and was delighted by its performance and ease of 
handeling.  I think she's worth a rehab. I only paid $1000 bucks for her and sailed at 
least 20hrs. a weak from June untill Nov. If I invest another $2000 over the 
coarse of the work  (which incudes some sail work) I wll be more than 
satisfied. I don't think I would be any more satisfied with a newer R22 when one 
considers the asking price new and used ( between 10000 and 20000).  For that kind 
of mony I would buy a real boat.
