[Rhodes22-list] 82 Rhodes22 for sale

Mon Aug 23 12:42:07 EDT 2010

Matt,
Stan is a very busy boat builder. This list will afford you the opportunity 
 to get "FREE" advice from owners, both past and present. This information 
is  totally FREE. In fact, we probably have more knowledge about the R22 
than the  builder. Stan spends most of his time building the boats for us and 
we spend  more time actually sailing.
I think if Stan would spend more time sailing and less time talking with  
prospective or current owners, he might have a better disposition. Drinking  
might also help him out. I know it does wonders for me.

Hi  All,

In the effort to provide a newcomer's perspective, I'd like to  point out
that new owners may be unaware that such a debate has been taking  place.  
As
the (broke) new owner of an inherited boat, the cost of a  Certificate is
prohibitive, but I would be more than happy to pay for the  time of an
experienced and knowledgeable Rhodes builder (or even Rhodes  captain) on an
hourly basis.

And to comment on Elle's response from  the other thread, there is a
difference between explaining a business  policy and chastizing a potential
customer (or any person for that matter)  for asking a question without
knowing the complex history of the  answer.

An hourly fee for sage advice would help in two areas.   First, the newcomer
may not have any knowledge of how the company operates,  or its plan of
succession.  The Certificate may be valid for a  lifetime of sailing, but as
with any small business, the question of who  will be there in the future to
provide that advice is important.   Second, as with many pay-as-you-go
scenarios, the customer often recognizes  the true value of the expert's
time, and may realize what a deal the  Certificate represents.

Oh, and to give a brief summary of my first few  months with our boat: she's
beautiful and functional; great for the Severn  River; perfect for a new
sailor/captain; and she sure can take a whack on  the bow pulpit/anchor.
