[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Irv Kooris

[Cheryl O'Grady]

Irv,

Welcome to the list!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, this is a
great bunch of people, with a large variety of interests and one
overriding common interest in the Rhodes 22.  I have been lurking for
nearly a year, and we are getting ready to buy our first sailboat, an R22
of course!  In the meantime, I have learned so much from the folks on
this list, it has been invaluable.  I hope you stick around.

We found our boat by regularly googling the Rhodes 22.  I agree with what
the guys have been telling me about buying from Stan - indeed the
preferable option.  We suffered from wanting too much, and couldn't find
the features (mainly, IMF) we wanted for what we could afford from Stan. 
We shall see in the long run whether that has been a good decision. 

I look forward to seeing your input to the group.  Good luck in finding
your own R22.

Cheryl

  Irv,
  Welcome to the Rhodes list. You have arrived at a time when there
  have been innovations that may help you.
  First, take a look at this web site. It will introduce you to the
  breath and scope of the email list: http://www.frappr.com/rhodes22
  This site is a new idea of Rhodie Gregg M of Ohio. It only represents
  about
  one tenth of the members of the email list. The email list in turn
  represents only those Rhodies who want to be on an internet email
  list and
  by no means consists of all those Rhodes 22's out there.
  Second, this list is hosted by Michael Meltzer. He is a big time
  computer executive in the NYC area. He has provided use with a
  current
  months email post, archives for previous discussions and the ability
  to
  attach pictures to illustrate boats, places and project details.
  Third, there are related sites that are not part of this list. Have
  you visited www.Rhodes22.com? That is the home of Admiral Stanley
  Spitzer.
  Stan rebuilds or refurbishes used Rhodes 22's and of course makes new
  ones.
  He also brokers used Rhodes 22's that do not come under the recycle
  program.
  Have you spoken to Stan? The best time to reach him at the plant is
  late
  afternoon because during the early part of the day he has to give
  direction
  to the workers at the plant.
  You said that you are new to the list. I would urge you to review
  emails directed to Cheryl and by Cheryl for the month of November to
  start.
  The study the archives for other questions, keeping in mind that the
  subject
  line of post is often very inaccurate and misleading.
  Feel free to post your questions. The responses may be on point or
  out in left field. Do not take offense to any remarks seemingly
  directed
  toward you, but just duck and move on.
