[Rhodes22-list] Stern flush mounted stanchions/Side ports

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Rummy,

My '81, manufactured in the Amityville plant and purchased from Stan
directly, had aluminum rails.  They were pop-riveted together and always
left a gray stain on clothing that was dried on the rail unless I wiped them
down constantly to remove the oxide. They were a poor choice compared to the
stainless on my 1991 Rhodes.

I can't imagine stern rails made from aluminum and not stainless. This must
have been a retrofit by a very cheap owner at one time. The newer factory
version of the stern rail has a section that allows for easy access to the
stern  ladder. I like to sit on the gunnels, in fact I spend most of my time
up there  unless I'm massively healing and need a toe hold in the opposing
seat. I often  lean back against the rail for support, but I can also
imagine sailing without  them. I say go for it and let us know what you
think. 
I finished removing the side ports on RumRunner this week and found an easy
way to remove and clean them if anyone is interested. I have to clean the
hull  surfaces and then I will be reinstalling them with (white) NP1. One of
the  ports I removed had been rebedded about twenty years ago with NP1 and
it was  extremely hard to cut loose. With a good install I'm guessing they
will last the  life of the boat and never need to be removed and rebedded
again.
I'm looking for an opening front port in good to excellent condition if
anyone has a spare they would part with. I broke the hinge on one of mine. 
 
Rummy
