Rummy,
 
Thank you for the advice, your group sounds like a group of friends that never give up or in on a friend or a heading into the big wave.  We live now in the foothills of Virginia, but have sailed in Northern Japan as a teen and Antigua WI  over the past 20 years, but never enough.  Does everyone agree that Stan will fit us out the best in a recycled Rhodes?  Who do you trust these days?  Your group might be just one of the last groups that might not steer a new guy wrong.  Lots going on in our lives right now, death in the family, father-in-law, plus alot more.  If I don't get back to someone email right away, I am sorry.  You all are very luck to have your group and let me in!  I hope to meet some of you very soon.  How does it work, are alot of people like me out there looking for a Rhodes?  I have gathered three notebooks of information on this boat and want more.  What do you think about  Stans age (79), will he have another 15 years of boat building?  Who will step in after Stan
 slows down?  I can't find another boat like this, where the builder and ownes care so much!  I did a little work a few years ago in Edenton and heard about the Rhodes and Stan.  Now I have taken the time to  follow up and just hope I can continue to find the time over the next 12 months to keep up and buy my Rhodes.  If anyone finds out about a inside way of finding a rhodes outside of Stan's, then please let me know.  Other wise  I will continue to work with Stan on one of his boats.  I believe, if it going to happen its going to happen for the right reason.  
 
Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU WELCOME INTO THE RHODES FAMILY!!

Gray,
Sounds like you are a smart man. You have already made the correct decision 
by knowing that you want a R22.
Purchasing a recycled boat from Stan at GB has many advantages over 
purchasing from a private owner. Finding a used R22 can be as hard as finding hens 
teeth. There just aren't many boats available.
What part of the country do you live and sail in. Oh yes, welcome to the R22 
owners list. 
You will soon discover that we are a free wheeling group and we often 
discuss non sailing related topics. Don't give up on us, we just get bored from 
time to time and amuse ourselves with beating up on other people including 
politicians and bureaucrats and even other list members from time to time. Nothing 
is taken personally here. :)
