[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Todd

Todd:
	They tried that with the Boeing 707.  It never could get off the
ground.  What they want is in Stan's head.  Now let us see if he wants to
spend a week at a Chinese castle.
	I am sorry, trust is a two way street.  Would you trust the product
pirating capital of the world?
	Who mentioned the Cheoy Lee 41?  Originally designed by Phil Rhodes
at 40 feet, then they extended it by one foot and they said it was no longer
his design and would no longer pay royalties.
	I guess we can expect to see a flood of 23-foot sailboats, so much
for Stan's pension. Do you think we should welcome them on the List?

Addendum:  Distance you sail in 7.5 minutes at 8 nautical miles per hour =

Ed,

  If they wanted to build sailboats, they would just buy a used R 22 and
copy it.
