[Rhodes22-list] Cracks in keel

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Bob,
Glad that I could be of assistance. I have the same problem at age  64.

I second  "the lift envy."  As I age, my 72 can no longer be reversed to 
27, no  matter how hard I try.  Somehow getting on my back under the R22 gets  
more difficult.  But the real problem is getting up!  If it were not  for 
the thought of a Rummy inspired Mount Gay rum drink, I'd probably never  make 
it back to the standing position!  {:>)

applying critical reasoning or feeling that I was so far into the project that  
I might as well finish it. That said, it has it uses as I have three boats 
- a  16' pontoon boat, a 20' wooden outboard and the Rhodes and have used 
the lift  to work on the bottoms of each. Also I had a fear of working on the 
keel while  lying on my back with the keel a few inches above my head.
> I wanted to  be able to sit while working on it and be able to get up and 
down more easily.  I am 67 and getting up from a prone position every time 
I need a tool is  exhausting. All that is weak rationalization for the 
effort and expense that  was involved. Were I to do it again, I wouldn't. Given 
that I now have it, it  is useful if entirely not justifiable.
