[Rhodes22-list] Big Boat Discussion

Mon Jun 28 14:04:37 EDT 2004

Gil mentioned a "Gozzard 36".  Well there is somebody on this list who has a
Gozzard 26!  I do not want to mention names, but that boat probably could be
had.  Now it was made by the brother or nephew of the famous Gozzard's.  It
was made in Canada.  The guy who made it apparently wants to get into the US
market.  He apparently makes trawler type boats already and is looking to
expand his market.

Hum, Mary Lou you might ask if that Gozzard boat is for sale?

	My current preference is a Gozzard 36 (<g>).  It's big enough to
sleep 2 plus a big, clumsy sheepdog.  More maintenance, but Air Conditiong
during this summer in the Chesapeake should make it more attractive.  Any
time spent on water messing around on a boat is time to be treasured,
sailing or not.

I'm with Mark on this. I'd hate to have to subscribe to 5 or 6 different 
lists to find out what my buds, the former Rhodies are up to. The Seaward 
RK 26 appears to be a logical move up from an R22, though it appears that 
36 & 37 footers are currently popular.

So here's a question for all the Rhodies out there, if you were to move up 
(over or down) - what would your next boat be and why? One of the main 
reasons we've stayed small is the ease of maintenance. We like having a 
boat on the Chesapeake that we can haul home for the winter. We've talked 
about retiring down near the Bay and that has brought consideration of a 
bigger boat. Right now I've been looking at Tartan 28s. Supposedly good 
sailing, Sparkman & Stevens design, nice deck layout (with the exception of 
the bridgedeck traveller which would take some getting used to), good 
cockpit, good engine access, good interior layout and some are even 
available tiller-steered. Seems like a nice boat for a couple who still 
would want to do a lot of daysailing but might want to take off on longer 
trips.

Anyone else want to take a stab at this?
