[Rhodes22-list] Help

[Richard Messer]

Hi Eric,

Would be happy to show you the boat anytime.  I may have access to a mooring for the rest of the season but most likely it will be right in the driveway.  I am amazed how roomy the cockpit is, it is a little snug down below but not bad especially with the pop top up.

We are in Gilford, NH.  Feel free to contact us anytime.

Matt

Matt,

I think that you just bought the Rhodes that I was going to try and look at
in the next couple of weeks!

Would you mind a visit from someone who wants a rhodes?  I really like the
design in theory, but have never set foot on one so I don't know if all the
theory will work out well for me and my family.

I would love to get on the boat with my family so I can see how we fit (we
have 4 kids, 6 1/2, 5, 2 1/2 and 1).

I am not expecting you to take us out for a sail or anything (though I would
not refuse if you offered ;)).  I really just want to see how we fit in the
space that is available.

We live near Lake Champlain in northern VT.

Thanks,
Eric
