[Rhodes22-list] Woodpussy

[Leland]

>From the Woodenboat Forum:

"On Thursday I tracked down Hank Magierski, builder of about a dozen
fiberglass WoodPussys in the early 70's. While on the phone he mentioned the
"Chappaquiddick 25's" were his. He also built Rhodes 22's and Viking
iceboats before closing his business in 1973. He built boats under the name
"One Design Marine" in Tom's River New Jersey. He told me he owned the A-Cat
"SPY" at one time and also won the Barnegat Bay A-Cat Championship in
"Lotus". Hank had returned from the hospital the previous day, recovering
from quadruple bi-pass surgery. It's a shame these giants of the boat
buiding world are getting on in years and won't have a second act with us.
Who will build these beauties in the future?
Regards,
Tony"

Hadn't realized that Stan wasn't the only Rhodes22 builder.
