[Rhodes22-list] Re: CB trunk, bottom paint

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Bill,
  thanks for the info on the bottom paint.
  as far as your IMF,   I probably CANNOT afford it at this time.
  I thought I sent you a direct email after the elections regarding my plans.
  Now I am going to have to make the best of my current mast but plan 
to buy new mainsail and CDI furler along with new running rigging.
  thanks
  Lou
