[Rhodes22-list] Stan?

[Bill Effros]

Slim,

I think we're hearing through Dave.  Stan doesn't have time for this.  
He has pointed us in the right direction, and he wants to see how it all 
sorts out before he contributes a lot more time and effort that could  
net him nothing but grief.  It's happened before.  If we can come up 
with something that makes sense for Stan, he'll come in and refine what 
we come up with.  If not, he'll stick to his knitting.

I am getting more firm commitments back-channel from people who say they 
would actually buy finished product at fair price from Stan.

If we can underwrite prototypes using lesser materials by selling test 
parts to individuals on the list, that would make a better finished 
product, while providing the basics to people who otherwise might not be 
able to afford them, or to make them.

What about you?  If you could sell your existing Boom Room, or trade it 
in for an improved model, would you do it?  At no cost?  At slight 
cost?  At full cost?  What would you like to see improved on your Boom 
Room?  That's what we're really talking about.  What could we make that 
would fit your boom room?  I assume everyone must affix their own female 
snaps to the fabric to match the males on their boats?

If the frame went above the boom would that mean that the new panels 
would not fit on your boat?  Or could you attach the snaps with more 
overhang?

Does your ladder design frame make up with additional frame pieces what 
Art's H-Frame design achieves with stronger structural members?  If cost 
were no object, which would you rather have?
