I have sometimes found motor and rudder at cross-purposes, especially if I want to be in a hurry. Just work at being slow !
> and deliberate, always watching for the potential "escape" from danger. The labored rudder control has me stumped. Be mindful of the position of the rudder blade. If not vertical and fully down it will become tough. If you let it be in the near-horizontal position, steerage will be nearly impossible. This may have been the issue. Of course, if the blade is not fully down, it will compete with the prop, and it will lose the contest... If you send a picture of the transom from in back, I may be able to suggest a simple rudder to motor linkage. The sailing season is young! Best to you, Art Have a nice day!

Place 3 PVC poles in 8' pickup bed and leave in sun for a week. Loops for tarp can be made on a standard sewing machine. Assemble according to picts provided and you'll figure it out. The overhang is good for rainy nights. This Idea could also work with a 10' X 10' kitchen fly to cover the whole cockpit and provide insect cover. http://old.nabble.com/file/p33763326/DSC_0013.jpeg http://old.nabble.com/file/p33763326/DSC_0015.jpeg http://old.nabble.com/file/p33763326/DSC_0016.jpeg http://old.nabble.com/file/p33763326/DSC_0018.jpg John Shulick wrote: > > > > butterchurn wrote: >> >> I was wondering if you could share with me your ideas for boom tents, >> etc. or photos of how you set up your cockpit for sleeping.

I now check to see if the motor arm is up before I back out of the slip. I hope your solution is this simple.

Well we finally got Ozone launched this Sunday. The weather up at Sandusky BAy on Lake Erie was very nice. I got the mast up with the help of Stan's wonderful mast crane. Quality equipment, BTW! I'm am not sure if I have the shrouds tightened correctly or not. At least the mast is straight with no bends. Motoring from the ramp to the marina took about 30 minutes. The tiller felt like I was handling a semi-truck; took much effort to steer, not sure why. It wasn't hanging up on anything. Bilges dry. No problems there. The really disappointing part was getting he!
> r into her slip. She didn't respond to the tiller very well and I ended up on the rocks. Fortunately, the bilges are still dry. The rudder has portions of paint missing, but other than that I see no damage to it. The diamond board hit the rocks, too, but still functions ok. I was going very slow, BTW. I guess I just need to get used to the boat and practice, practice and practice some more. I had the marina move me to a slip away from the rocks and more room to maneuver. I feel very foolish and could kick myself for blemishing my sweet girl. Part of my problem was trying to move the motor and tiller in the same direction to make sharp turns. The motor handle is blocked by the motor mount. I tried making turns without moving the motor but the turns were not sharp enough to get into the slip with the space I had. I don't know if you could give me suggestions. If there are any Rhodies in the area of Sandusky Ohio, I would like to ask if someone could take a look at my mast rig!
> ging to see if I did it right. I will learn, I just hope not to do it at the expense of my sweet girl. I looked real foolish in the marina; not on the lake where I did just fine of course. I agree with Stan in his owner's manual - his method and equipment is idiot proof, the boat that is not necessarily the person at the helm. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Launched-Ozone-Ouch%21-tp33763317p33763317.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __________________________________________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe go to http://www.rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-list For the list Charter and help with using the mailing list and archives go to http://www.rhodes22.org/list __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:24:06 -0700 From: "Chris Geankoplis" <napoli68 at charter.net> Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Boom Tents the $60.00 bimini To: "'The Rhodes 22 Email List'" <rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org> Message-ID: <4VQ21j00N4M!

I will take care of the situation when I visit Ozone next time. I'm glad no one was there to watch. I felt real stupid. I guess I won't be the last guy to run aground. I did had the marina move me to a slip that is not so tight in which to maneuver. Very little room for Ozone to get in. The folks in the marina are some of the nicest I have every met. The managers and staff are fantastic. Best customer service I have seen in a long time. I posted some photos of the launch day on Flicker. I really had a good time out on the lake. My family really loves Ozone. My daughter has downs syndrome and she simply loves being out on the !
