[Rhodes22-list] General Boats (Rose & Stan's) position paper

[Bob Keller]

I am not going to comment specifically on A thru D below because those details are up to the two individuals and only them.  But it seems like it would be best for the owners, Stan, Art and the R-22 brand for Art and Stan to work together.  Art makes some high quality canvas products custom designed for the R-22 and this should be an extension of the GB offering to make the product (the boat) more versatile and more attractive.  Competing with each other makes no sense.  One suggestion: if you can come to an agreement, put it down in writing - not a contract - just an email that you both read and say "OK" to before proceeding.

 

Good luck, but I hope you can work together and cooperate because it will help everyone.
