[Rhodes22-list] Railing Fittings

[Jim Connolly]

Those with newer boats than I are better able to comment, but it appears to
me that in the attached photo of Opus (nice, btw) and in the "new railing
design" photo from the Rhodes22.org web site (in exteriors) neither the new
side rails, nor the new stern rail designs use this fitting anymore.

Ah, they gave you our favorite spot!

We are hoping to do more sailing now that the weather has improved.
