[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes owners in Canada preferably Ontario

[Mark Skapinker]

Hi Barbara, 
Where about in Ontario are you? I have a Rhodes22 that I bought last
spring. I keep it in Toronto on Lake Ontario in the spring and the fall,
and this year I kept it on Lake Muskoka for the summer. 
I would be happy to share my experiences of the boat (I love it!!), of
importing it into Canada (fairly straightforward), and working with Stan
and Elton (wonderful). The only problem is that it is *about* to be
winterized and may already be shrinkwrapped if you want to see it before
next spring.
Besides which, it would be GREAT to have someone on this web site who
was focused on sailing in Canada instead of the US election <g>.
Mark

Hello everybody,
Not too long ago I had the misfortune of falling in love with a Rhodes I
saw at a boat show. I say misfortune because I know that right now,
since I'm in the midst of downsizing my home now that the kids have
moved out, I can't afford to buy one of my own (sigh). I feel like the
little kid with her nose pressed against the toystore window lovingly
admiring a little red wagon.

Anyhow, I've downloaded and printed out pictures of other people's
Rhodes and they are my middle-aged "pin-ups" replacing the long
forgotten pin-ups of the dreamboats of my youth. ha, ha.

I am new to sailing - got the bug this past season - and over the fall
I'm taking the CPS boating course so I can learn to safely navigate
around. Over the past few months I have been researching little
trailerable boats and I know that a Rhodes is in my future. However,
since I am so new to the whole scene, I have many questions.

I know the Rhodes are built in the US and I wonder what is involved in
buying a boat (used or recycled) from the US and bringing it to Canada.
Are there many Canadian Rhodes owners? I'll leave my questions at that
for now.

Thanks in advance,
Barbara.
