[Rhodes22-list] Still Looking

[Jay Friedland]

Bob-
Just back from Chicago Strictly Sail show.

I'd be happy to trade some sailing time for your  promised support of 
our Southern H.S. Sailing team (only minimum is req'd.). I'm (very) 
optimistically hoping to get my boat in the water in late Feb.-early 
March, if the bay thaws (how does salt water freeze?). It's still down 
at the factory with a few more upgrades and some bottom paint to go if 
the factory gets above 50 degrees.

If the boat you're looking at is factory-painted most likely Awlcraft 
2000 is the paint used, as mine is getting now. U.S. Paint has specific 
touchup procedures they recommend with this based on original hull 
color, some info on their website,  some from reps experience. I've 
found it is a 3-4 year curing process and fine scratches can be 
repaired.

The caution with the GBI furler is to check it for straightness as once 
bent, unbending becomes a real trick. Sighting it or rolling tube alone 
on a flat surface may be the only way of checking. The seats as you 
found in AC, are the prime perch in any sailing vessel. Whether anyone 
is using them with the straight rails, I don't know.

Many used R22's in the area are pretty run-down, but we could take a 
look. A 1984 was just pulled out of Manahawkin (Arnold's Marine) by 
Elton that was an abandoned boat, and a few more are marginal. Let me 
know where and when. But it's been said before the Stan's takes the 
guesswork out of the buying process.

As I always believe every sailor should have two boats, one to work on 
and one to sail, the IP would be the project boat. The R22 can be 
sailed virtually any time, anywhere (especially where no power boats 
would stray), under any wind conditions, and for as short a time as an 
hour from Causeway Marine (that's where you slipping it, right?). Try 
any of that with the IP and the channel to either of the inlets is a 
minimum of 1-2 hours to get to decent sailing grounds.

Anyhow, call or e-mail offline, if you want? I have your Southern 
supporter sticker. Sorry about commercializing this, you know how it is.
Regards,
J
