[Rhodes22-list] Proof of authenticity (STAN SPITZER I DONOT OWNA "RIG" RATHER A 71 RHODES CONTINENTAL)

Mon Sep 7 10:25:43 EDT 2009

just let us know when you are ready to sell your boat privately and we will 
tell you how to get your exclusive, amazingly high powered selling tool 
certificate.   of course, if, when you do sell, you are the oldest Rhodie 
standing, the plan is not voluntary, it is free.

As the Scriptures say, "A soft answer turneth away wrath." (I hope for 
John's sake)
But what's this "Rhodes Certificate of Support" or authenticity all about? 
Stan, as an original owner ('83) how do we get one? We sailed ours all this 
past week by the way and slept out on it 3 nights; as good as ever!!
