[Rhodes22-list] Parking / Details

[Peter Thorn]

Caesar,

Welcome to Rhodes world!  Generally, a pretty good bunch, I think.

I just looked at my 2003 Triad.  The fender wells are the most beamy part of
the trailer, and they fit underneath the flare of the boat and quite a few
feet lower.  Since the boats specs 8' beam, I think your proposed parking
area will work nicely.

Now, better practice your trailer backing well in advance of delivery.

immediate importance, but should I choose to store the boat in a some type
of storage shed, then I would need to know the height.

the width of the boat.  I have just about 9ft at the side of my house, from
side wall to boundary line, give or take a few inches.  If the overall
length of the trailer axle from outside wall of tire to tire is less than
8.5 ft then that is good news.  Can someone give the exact dimension?
Thanks.

north of the Washington State University.  Go Cougs!  I have done more
reading about sailing than actual sailing.  Among the books I have read are
"Sailing Small" by Stan Grayson, and "Sailing Big on a Small Sailboat".   I
bought the newest edition when I learned that a Rhodes is featured on the
front cover.  I just want to see the boat, so please send me pictures if you
have the time.

with a friend who owns a Aquarius 23.  He has been very generous in trying
to add some practical experience to the bit of theory that I have acquired.

of the woods.  It would be helpful for my wife, and hopefully first mate, to
see and handle the boat that we might be sailing in together.  My twelve
year old son prefers a power boat, and his autism has nothing to do with it.

>   Ed, I hope this gives you a clearer picture, and thanks for asking.
