[Rhodes22-list] Door choices & wish list

Tue Dec 16 14:29:34 EST 2008

Sorry,

I thought everyone knew.

Fold it, put it in a sail bag and, holding it with a hand on each side and 
the curved top edge away from
you, slide it under the cockpit seat (probably best forward of a coaming 
compartment) and up into the gunnels and the straight bottom edge of the 
folded unit will fit into the groove molded into the cockpit liner under the 
seat.   It will not go anywhere until you lift it up out of the shallow 
groove and slide it back out towards the center cockpit floor.

PS:  is there a site called "you-tube" ?  I was unknowingly shot at a family 
Thanksgiving telling all the young folks what they had to look forward to: 
aging; I never saw the film at 11 but someone now tells me that it got on 
You Tube ????
