Ed,
I had luck by just changing the .mail suffix to .txt and opening it with
notepad. Give it a shot.

Ed,
 
I mentioned before that I couldn't open the archive.  I tried on two
computers and neither recognized the file type.  Microsoft's website didn't
recognize it either.  It's not easy to track down archived discussions in an
archive I can't open!   :-)
 
If anyone has suggestions on how to read the archive, I'm all ears ...
 
Thanks,
-Mark

Mark,
    I am the one with the Nicro fan vent. I would not attempt to speak for
them.  After using methods recommended by Rummy and Bill E for anchors, I
found that the Nicro would work.  As for the methods I am referring to, you
know me by now.  I have already given you the location of all the knowledge
on this list.  Now, Bill E has an alternative library and he may be willing
to do your research for you.  However, this discussion was about mildew and
enough ventilation with single hatches.  My post was a lateral comment on
improving ventilation and air circulation.  
    In regards to the anchor line being odoriferous, it depends on how and
where it is used.  I never had a problem with the line smelling, as I rinsed
it off as I raised it.  However, I was offered a used Nicro and put in and
it worked, immensely increasing air circulation.  I got the idea of the vent
from some who had put it in the cabin.  Again, I am not going to research
who did that.
    What you really need to do is come down to Lake Hartwell.  Rummy could
teach you how to get the maximum out of your boat.  You could inspect my
boat.  It is older and has that used look.  You could see how to attach and
fly a spinnaker.  You see my use of Wally's single line traveler
modification.  If it is sunny, you could listen to the Nicro purr.  Again,
come on down.

[Rhodes22-list] One Hatch, Bilge and VentilationEd, I'm sorry, but I don't
quite follow what you mean by this sentence: "Their 
methods do away with the need for the front access for the anchor line to go

into the anchor line tray."  What are the "methods" Rummy and Bill are
using?  
Are they storing ing the anchor line somewhere else and putting the Nicro
vent 
into the vent the anchor line normally goes?  If so, what do you do with the

anchor line?  As a newbie, I wasn't around for the original discussion ...
so 
I'm not quite following this shorthand.  Clean air in the cabin is going to
be a 
concern of mine when I receive our recycled Rhodes later this year (lots of
mold 
allergies in the family), and I wasn't aware that a stinking anchor line was
a 
potential problem.
 
Thanks,
 
-Mark

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] One Hatch, Bilge and Ventilation


    We are having a discussion about bilge pumps and causes of problems.
Also, had question about one hatch versus two hatches.  Well, I have no
hatches and my recycled boat came with a bilge pump. 
    A successful way to increase total ventilation is a Nicro(sp?) solar
powered vent.  I have seen one Rhodes with one in the cabin roof.  However,
over the years we have had discussion about stinking anchor lines.  Several
solutions are in use, i.e. Rummy's and Bill's solutions.  Their methods do
away with the need for the front access for the anchor line to go into the
anchor line tray.  The smaller Nicro vent fits right into the hole without
modification.  Then when the sun shines there is constant ventilation.  It
works and improves the overall atmosphere of the cabin.
