[Rhodes22-list] UPS Sail Again

[Ronald Lipton]

Mark,

  Thanks for the note.  The Chicago loft folks at Strictly Sail said that
they would get the material from Doyle and make the sails in Chicago.
I can aske to see if I can get the "Rhodes 22 Club" price from the
loft here.  I guess I am better off dealing with the local loft in case of
problems.

Ron
