[Rhodes22-list] What happens when Rhodies go over to the dark side

[Stephen Staum]

Looks like a great boat Mary Lou. Enjoy the heck out of it. The important thing in life is to get out on the water - I don't think it matters how. I have a good friend who is a life long avid sailor and has switched to a trawler in his 70's. I think this is where old sailors go. 

I am launching later today due to the 6:15 pm high tide. You are always welcome to come sail in New England. Our season is short but sweet.

It wasn't until we saw a Rosborough RF-246 at the Bay Bridge Boat Show this spring that we knew we had found out next boat, a 26 ft outboard powered mini-trawler. It won't be sailing but she has doors on either side of the helm position so you feel like you are on the water, great visibility, a nice cockpit and shallow draft so we can re-visit all of our favorite anchorages. The one that will be ours any day now was one of the last ones built in Nova Scotia before Bob Rosborough sold the molds and the name to Eastern Boats in New Hampshire (which is making very nice new ones.)
