[Rhodes22-list] evaluating the used boat

[Chet Orton]

Ed,

I just realized that I didn't answer all of your questions.
Yes, I am specifically interested in the Rhodes 22. I've compared it to a couple of others in its class, not in person, just reading.
The keel/centerboard seems to be a better approach that the swing keel found on others.
The IMF mast seems brilliant. I'll always be trailering so quick setup/takedown is very desireable, and I won't have to reserve valuable storage space for the sail.
I'm not sure about the porta-potti vs. marine head issue. I would like to see some discussion about the relative merits of each.

Chet

Chet:

    Welcome to the Rhodes List.  You kind of jumped in with a bunch of
questions and very little introduction.  Now that you are here, tell us more
about yourself.
    You state that you are interested in Brad’s old boat.  Are you looking for
a Rhodes 22 specifically?   Have you studied the features of a Rhodes 22? 
Have you evaluated the differences between the IMF on that boat and standard
main sails.  Come on now, let it hang out.
    Is that boat worth buying?  I would say that if you are at all interested,
you best take a wad of cash and get it.  It will not be on the market next
spring.  
    If you want to get it painted, General Boats in Edenton, NC, just happens
to have one of the best boat painters in the USA available.  Get it done
right.
    That boat has the porta potty arrangement, is that what you want or do you
want the marine head arrangement?
    Again, welcome, and give us more details.
