Stan,

Any pictures of the '27?  I recall seeing only one of the hull inside the
plant.

I would be interested in the boat

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.
