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

[Wickman, William E]

Stan,
Now with a Rhodes27 maybe I would sail to Bermuda or even Hawaii.

Joking aside, I'm interested.  It is a dream of mine to walk away from
this desk job in the corporate jungle and do something much more fun and
meaningful like building boats.

Dear Rhodies,

  A retired sailor, who has crossed the ocean in his prior boat , called
yesterday to say he was ready to buy the Rhodes if we could deliver him
the larger version by next year.  I see from list e-mails there may be
interest form others.

  This is the first of several e-mails I will post to explore the
formation of a new company to build the 27.  The control of said company
would be in the hands of the investors and my minority ownership
position would be a function of the value of molds and other assets I
can contribute to get the project up and running.     

  Ed, if you can, would you please re-run the e-mail I sent about when
the lights went out here leaving us nothing to do but test sail our 27'
shell ?    Thanks.

  I have a picture of the shell in the water and will try to get it on
the list in a week or so - in the meantime kick the thought around; it
could be fun, a way of getting a 27 at cost (when and if any company
owner becomes so inclined) and maybe even the possibility of making some
money.
