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

[Joseph Hadzima]

Stan, this sounds very exciting!.

First I'll need to see if the guy we sold our flower shop
to can deliver anything in the snow tomorrow. if so, I'll
see if he's willing to pay us off a little early and save
some mortage interest. Then I'll just need to "present"
this possible new adventure to the Admiral.


What criteria for partners have you defined? 

Are you only interested in funding?

Are you more looking to contribute the molds and then
license the design to a manufacturer?

Are you seeking a bunch of wild rhodies willing to create a
quality boat manufacturing from the ground up?
