[Rhodes22-list] IMF for old Rhodes

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Jim,
A good friend of mine purchase a Rhodes 22 that was a salvage hull. It had  
a large hole in the bottom, no mast and a host of other problems. He 
rebuilt the  boat and purchased a non-standard mast and rigged a boom which 
allowed him to  roll the main sail onto it. The boat has gone through at least 
three other  owners in recent history and it now belongs to John Locke of this 
forum. Perhaps  he could explain how it works and give you some details. It 
might work for  you.

Rummy,

I called General Boats just to be sure and got  Stan on the phone.  He 
pretty
much echoed what you said - that he  probably has a mast and maybe a boom,
stays etc but I would have to buy a  new sail and it would probably be $4 to
$5K before I was done and he would  not recommend putting so much into an 
old
boat.

Although I still may  consider it at a future time because I haven't seen
newer boats for less  than 18K, it is not a situation in which one IMF 
exists
that would fit my  boat and I have to jump at it or lose the chance.
There are also other  things I can do to make it the boat easier to
single-hand - like running  the halyard back to the cockpit etc. - so I will
give it some  time.

Jim
