[Rhodes22-list] Question for Robert S, reply to John B, reply to Lee

[Tootle]

Bob S, 
1.	Do your calculations assume the weight aloft is on centerline of the
mast?  Whose weight would be on centerline using a boson’s chair?
2.	I noticed Rob Lowe’s reply to one of my posts, so what have you been
sending him?
3.	Getting close to departure date?  How is wife healing?  (That is healing
physically and not on sail boats.)

Lee, 
     	I believe the cost of a new mast is many thousand if you bend it,
since it cannot be straightened with integrity intact.  Raising and lowering
the mast on a R22, if even to fix the light is quite safe, simple and quick
using Stan’ crane.  I have done it at the dock without incident. 
Positioning the boat so that mast is over the dock where the work needs to
be done.  Remember the R22 IMF mast is a specially drawn mast using a
proprietary die.  It is not available from anybody but Commodore Spitzer and
the current cost of aluminum is out of sight.  

John B,
    	Interest rates theoretically are determined by the market and not an
idealized number.  That is what a willing buyer is willing to pay without
collusion, compulsion or coercion.  Your friend is a socialist or a fellow
traveler.

Addendum:  “The turmoil in the credit markets now emanating from the
collapse of the housing bubble can be understood in the light of the theory
of the business cycle.  Credit expansion distorts the pattern of spending
and capital investment in the economic system. This in turn leads to the
large scale loss of capital and thereby sets the stage for a subsequent
credit contraction, which is precisely what is beginning to happen now.”
