[Rhodes22-list] Alan with the 1976 Rhodes

[ed kroposki]

Alan:
	1.	Welcome to the font of all boat knowledge.  There are others
on the list that are or have recently rebuilt old Rhodes 22 sailboats.
Sometimes these older boats use the term, 'rhodes continental'.  This is the
same boat, just earlier terminology.
	2.	This is sailing time of year and most of those sailors with
fixer upper projects are actually sailing and not responding to the list.
Winter is when most project discussion takes place.
	3.	The keeper of the list, Michael Meltzer of Connecticut is a
big league computer wiz.  He has set up the archives of all post to the list
so that you may go back and see what was discussed in the past.  If you are
a writer, you might endeavor to write a book on how to restore an old rhodes
sailboat from those archives.  At the very least, you should research them
for discussions on the restoration problems that you encounter.  This email
list has been here for so long that many will not answer the same questions
posted two, three, or more times.  
	4.	There are others with 1976 rhodes 22's on this list.  There
is one sailor with the Cadillac of all 1976 rhodes 22's no longer on the
list.  May he sail in solitude.
	5.	All post to the list are usually signed.  A current subject
is also written on the subject line.

Sailors,
My wife an I have acquired a 1976 Rhodes 22 which has a sound hull, a
recently replaced deck , the mast, boom, and the sails are in excellent
condition. The boat did not cost us  dime but and it came with the trailor. 
That is all the good news.

The bad news is that the cabin is total crap, we will have to rebuild it. if
you have any tips for us as we are new sailors, new boat owners, and new at
remodeling a boat they would be greatly apperciated. 
We will be sailing the boat at Grand Lake St. Mary's in north west Ohio.

Also, how do I add myself to the list?

my e-mail is sugargroveumc at bright.net

Alan
