[Rhodes22-list] deck rebuild - Good Old Boat

Sat Nov 1 10:07:31 EDT 2014

For those considering a deck core fix, you might want to pick up the current
(November 2014) issue of Good Old Boat. Just today I received the preview
copy and noticed from the Table of Contents that a feature article entitled
"Rebuilding a deck, part 1: A top down core replacement". I don't currently
subscribe so I can't say anything about the article but the advice that is
given in this magazine is pretty sound so far as I can tell.

Brad:
As far as I know anyone is welcome to the list who has an interest in the
Rhodes 22. I am sure that there are lots who will over time be interested in
the bits and pieces you have salvaged and are either impossible to find or
very expensive.

We learn from each other o this list constantly. Advice from my friends on
this list has saved me from making serious mistakes on a number of occasions
and I am grateful for it. We are very lucky to have boats where there is
still such an active owner group in place - not to mention the continuing
presence of the builder himself. That alone would make the reconstruction of
an old Rhodes 22 a far better choice than with a boat where you were on your
own.

I cannot tell you how much I have learned in the last three days!! I thank
all of you for your help. Graham, your's and Rummy's explanations (along
with the others) were amazing, and it really kept me looking at the
possibilities for the Rhodes.
I am afraid this beast is too far gone though, but what you did was get me
to appreciate what I had in my Newport 214!! Solid fiberglass deck (no core)
sound hull and keel (with a couple exceptions). The main problem with the
214 is it's fittings are extremely light weight (2 sidestays, 1 forestay, no
back stays). I was looking for a boat to sail the Keys in with a little bit
of safety built in, this boat didn't have it.
My plan now is to kind of merge the two boats together into one. I think
adding stays to the mast will help, along with a couple of things to make
sailing easier.... Here comes the Newport Continental!!
I put out there, that there might be parts available, but I'm not sure what
yet.... Here's what I'm thinking right now...
Definitely will keep- winches, jib tracks, stays, cabin chain plates,
cleats, cam cleat, clam cleats, pintles and gudgeons, cooler Maybe will
keep-Mast, boom, sails, mast step, sink, pump, water tank, 70's portapottie
(...lime green and all....), bow windows Won't keep- Pop top and hardware,
rudder, centerboard (I was told it was replaced with a new diamond model,
but have not seen it yet), trailer, window frames Richard, let me know if
you need an answer on the sails, I have to do some geometry measurements on
the masts to even see if they will work... Its snowing here now, I'm not
feelin like measuring.....
....am I still allowed to visit if the boat is half Rhodes???? Brad Bachelor

Hey Brad....does it have any decent sails and do the sheet winches work?
