[Rhodes22-list] no activity?

[Ed Huffer]

Good morning.  Good subject you brought up!   And one I have been pondering.   The Rhodes I bought a while back had a leak.   I took all the topside cabin hardware off to reseal it.  I also took the windows out as they had "water streak" marks on the inside.  After doing that I didn't think they were too bad.  The inside cabin interior is in good shape.  Then I sprayed water on the hatch and found where the majority of the water was coming from--the hatch installed on the top starboard side.   Removed the hatch to resael and the wood was soaked on two sides----the forward and starboard.   It was seperated and swollen and in terrible shape.    I removed the wood on both those sides.  I am now back to the "good wood" on the other two good sides.  Now I am wondering what a "proper" fix would be?   Anyone have suggestion{s]?    The chainplate on that side was also loose as it was screwed to nothing but the bad wood. I am deciding also on whether to put that chainplate back into original configuration or do the mod to the outside as others have done.   Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.   Thank you.  Ed H.    A 1981 Rhodes that is in otherwise good shape.    :)   :)

We're here. Not too much to talk about.

Fretless is winterized and all bundled up for the winter at our 
storage location a couple of miles down the road.

Fred rebedded the cabintop hatch before we put her away. We were 
getting a lot of water and weren't sure if it was the hatch itself. 
just the bedding or maybe something around the spot where the wires 
to the mast come through the cabintop. We really didn't spend enough 
time aboard this year to figure it out so when we hauled her at the 
end of October, we brought her home to the side yard where we could 
wait for a warm day and turn the hose on the problem. It didn't take 
much to determine that the problem was the bedding around the hatch. 
Fred pulled the hatch, let the plywood in the cabintop dry - it was 
really solid no softness at all - even on the edges - YAY! and then 
rebedded the hatch with 4200.

Not much else to tell. Already thinking about Spring. Determined to 
sail more next year.

Happy holidays to all - whichever you celebrate.
