[Rhodes22-list] Keel/ Diamond Board

Wed Jan 20 14:24:58 EST 2010

Chris,

You may have set some kind of boat-use record for a married working sailor, if you're still married and working after last year.

I'm sure there are plenty of sailors with cheaper boats who get out more often but I bet a lot of Rhodes owners are right up there.  It's just such an easy boat to take out for a sail.  I agree with your Chi.  It's dangerous to divide hours of fun into cost, but that's where Rhodes really shine.  If you only count time out on the water (admittedly unfair), most of the boats in my marina probably cost more than $1,000/hour.  Ouch!

Stan:

I hope you have good "Chi".  My Chi tells me to value my boat by how often I use it.  If 2010 is anything like 2009 was then I have a valuable boat.

getting ready for Chi but yes, all of the boats we have built in our own 
shop and those that we recycle have internal pins so at least that area is 
not a leakage potential (unless of course ....)

all new boats have glass stringers and many of the recycled boats get 
rebuilt with glass stringers.  (even the Catalina Conversion model has the 
internal pins system because it now has the Rhodes combination keel/cb and 
it has glass floor stingers)

excuse the sales pitching but have to keep selling so you guys and ladies do 
not end up sailing out-of-production boats.

for those like Todd and his followers who still do not get the List/GB well 
being relationship value factor, add to that list that banks have announced 
that in financing boat resale purchases, they are valuing used boats that 
are no longer in productions different than used boats still in production
