[Rhodes22-list] Re: any interst in forming a new company to build the 27 foot vesion of the Rhodes 22

[Rick Lange]

Stan,
I'd be very interested in buying and/or investing in a
Rhodes 27, especially if it retains some key Rhodes 22 features
like furling everything, one step entry into the cabin from the cockpit, a
super sized ergonomic cockpit and unsinkable.  I'm on the leading edge of
the aging Baby Boom generation and know that these features plus a larger,
more comfortable head afforded by another 5 feet of boat length would be
very attractive to my demographic.
