I think he meant  Bristol Cream, he seems so much more refined than Rummy, 
or
is that  distilled?

I didn't even pursue the ad because I was sure it  was snatched up 
instantly.

Hello Rhodes Sailors

I just purchased a 1975 Rhodes  (minutes ago).

I first sailed one about 4 years ago (maybe 5) when I  charted Stan's for a
four day cruise in the Albemarle.  LOVED the boat  (and the cruise) but 
could
not afford a Rhodes of my own then.  My  wife still has pictures from that
trip as her screen shot on her computer.  I was a member of this list for a
brief while then and you all helped me  tremendously in planning my cruise.
Glad to be back as an owner  now.


I've restored 4 badly neglected boats in the past and  presently sail a
MacGregor V2-22.  Similar (in performance only) to  the Rhodes but not 
nearly
as well made.

I found this Rhodes last  night while slumming around on the Annapolis 
Craigs
List site.  It was  listed for $250!!!!

I called the marina and it was not a miss  print.  It had been abandoned at
the marina with the hatch open so it  got rain water in it.  But for $250  I
DON'T CARE! I gave them a  credit card number over the phone! I'm so happy.
The fee to lift it onto my  trailer is another $250.  So I nabbed a Rhodes
22' for  $500.

HOT DAMN!

Even if I dump $10,000 bringing her to Bristol  I'm way ahead.

Seems some kid bought it, sailed it one season and then  abandoned it.  The
marina is a power boat marina and didn't want  anything to do with it and
wanted it gone.  I was happy to  oblige.

I'm told the main sail was new the year the kids sailed it and  has been
stored in the main office of the marina...the genoa is probably  the
original.


I contacted General Boats and I'm waiting to hear  from them about their
recycled boat program.


I can't believe my  luck.

Fair winds  all!!

Rob
