They are stainless steel with bearings. They are expensive but worth it since they last with salt water use. Everything related to sailing seems to be 4 or 5 times more expensive than it should be. We once had horses and looked for a wall feeder for the stalls. The farm store had two versions at different locations in the store, one for horses and one for cows. The horse version was nearly twice the cost of the cow version, but the model and manufacturer for both were identical. Such was our welcome to sailing and not fishing. The pulleys hang from galvanized 1" pipe straps available anywhere. I could not find stainless hangers. The bolts are stainless. The line is 5/16 all purpose nylon available anywhere. The line is attached to the 1" bottom mounting bar on top of the engine mount formerly used for the winch strap. It is not mounted in any way to the engine. There is no guide for the pull end of the line, it just goes over the platform top of the engine slide channels to a jam cleat. Easy lock, easy release and secure under sail. Yes, the Tohatsu Sail Pro 4 stroke has been extremely reliable, it loses no oil, stays clean and is easy to winterize and service. It has a charging system for the batteries. An electric start version is available, but It usually starts on the first pull even on the first use in spring. It pushes the boat easily to hull speed at about half throttle. I will never even think about owning another 2 stroke.

We bought the 9 acre industrial site the year after Tanzer folded and have been here for 30 years before our bodies, not the boat, started folding. See if you can find another Canadian builder to take over. Must be a good place to manufacture; Warren Buffet moved in across the street and also bought the property adjacent to our north property line. Too bad he is not into sailing. stan On 5/27/17 8:10 AM, Jefferson Lewis wrote: > Stan, > > This the worst possible news. Completely understandable - of course.

Weisner Sent: May 29, 2017 6:36 PM To: 'The Rhodes 22 Email List' Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Beginning of the End - Parts I agree that with the existence of the Rhodes 22 Community, we should be able to help each other to find replacement parts or fabricate them. I will continue to support the Rhodes22.org mailing list as long as possible to permit us to maintain communication. As of April 1, 2017, we completed the first year of Amazon Web Services' "free" hosting program. I think that the experience with AWS has been very positive. We experienced no outages and have virtually limitless storage. It doesn?t make sense to build a private web server to host this kind of list. For the past two months the costs have averaged $13-$14 per month. I think that it is a reasonable cost, considering the benefits. The time to monitor and keep the list relatively spam free is down to ten minutes per day, most of the time. If anyone is interested in getting involved, please let me know. I would not like the survival of the community communication network to depend on a single individual. Funny how easy it gets to think that way as the years go by.

A shame we cant order parts anymore. > I think the subject of parts for Rhodes 22?s is one that merits some discussion here on the list. With Stan?s imminent retirement, we Rhodies are apparently on the verge becoming owners of ?orphaned? boats. Nothing Stan has said to us gives me any reason to think that there?s anyone who will be ?getting the inventory? (however much may exist). My guess is that going forward, we are going to be on our own. This will mean finding alternates sources, or in some cases perhaps making our own parts. In some cases, the sources are already well known. You could buy sails from Stan, which many people have done to help support the company, but I?m pretty sure that people have also been buying Rhodes specific sails directly from Doyle. Similarly, we know that Triad makes the Rhodes 22 trailer. Since the design of the Rhodes specific features of the trailer came from Stan, Triad agreed to only sell Rhodes trailers to GB. If GB is no longer in the trailer business, hopefully Triad will be willing and able to sell Rhodes trailers to the general public. The IMF mast is probably a much more complicated situation. My recollection from my strolls through the list archives is that the mast is made by Dwyer, but the die for the extrusion is owned by Stan. If Dwyer happens to be in possession of the die, would they be willing and able to use it to create a new IMF mast? The odds don?t strike me as good. But I suppose if I found for some reason that I had no option but to downgrade my boat to a standard mast and mainsail, it wouldn?t be the end of the world. There are a few parts on the boat that it seems pretty clear are manufactured by General Boats. I have in mind things that slide on the IMF mast and boom. I haven?t looked at any of these things very closely, but my impression is that they are made from Starboard and aluminum with some off-the-shelf stainless steel bits and pieces. Starboard and aluminum are probably being used because they can be cut and shaped by woodworking tools. As it happens, I have some woodworking tools, and would probably be willing to attempt to fabricate some of these parts. That said, I think an outboard motor lift is well beyond my capabilities, so you should hope your?s doesn?t break. Hopefully, other people have thoughts on this subject.

That's what I do. That's what keeps the Rhodes ahead of what is left of the competitive pack. The latest system allows for as big a sail draft as wanted while maintaining the sail and boom in the same plane so that the heretofore never used traveler system now works efficiently with the boom to provide better pointing ability. For continued clarity: The one person parts department remains doing its best for those who purchased their boats from GB or those who went through a private sale and elected to be part of the C of S community. stan On 6/5/17 8:10 AM, Michael Weisner wrote: > Olivier, > > Here are a few images that may help. > > The "Outhaul rigging" image is an older design and is probably what you > have.

I believe there was a thumbscrew in that threaded hole. I'm not sure that we used it consistently when reefing as the pressure of the lines would tend to keep it in place but I do seem to remember giving it a turn or two at times. It does slide in the track and when reefed can follow the clew of the sail forward on the boom. We didn't always do that but it did give a little more control of the leech of the sail. And I believe that's when we would use the thumbscrew. Unfortunately, I don't have any good pics of the assembly.

But then I realize that you are using a photo of our boat at the boat show so am wondering what do */you/* have at the end of your current boom. If it is like the show boat boom you are good to go. If you have some earlier, not-thru-the boom cleating system and it has been working for you, you can stay with that. If you do not have what is in the show photo and like the idea of a continuous locking system as you deploy the IMF main, then you can install an outhaul line terminal system that comes with a turning block (atop the boom), a fitted platform for the underside of the boom and a locking cam cleat mounted on this vertical fitted platform. $175, or you can come and help me save this business and get everything for nothing and maybe even get rich if we can get a Bernie Sanders in the next time; or e-propulsion or the R 27 take off. stan On 6/6/17 9:18 AM, Michael Weisner wrote: > Stan, > > I would very much like to upgrade to the new design. > > Does $225 include the complete kit of parts to convert from the metal car to > the newly redesigned version?

The weather is supposed to be good this weekend and I hope to be able to take a few pictures of what I have. My guess is that it is whatever was stock in 1991, starting with the older metal slider. I also have the older traveler design and I wanted to upgrade to the continuous loop design as well. I'll let you know when I have been onboard.

But then I realize that you are using a photo of our boat at the boat show so am wondering what do */you/* have at the end of your current boom. If it is like the show boat boom you are good to go. If you have some earlier, not-thru-the boom cleating system and it has been working for you, you can stay with that. If you do not have what is in the show photo and like the idea of a continuous locking system as you deploy the IMF main, then you can install an outhaul line terminal system that comes with a turning block (atop the boom), a fitted platform for the underside of the boom and a locking cam cleat mounted on this vertical fitted platform. $175, or you can come and help me save this business and get everything for nothing and maybe even get rich if we can get a Bernie Sanders in the next time; or e-propulsion or the R 27 take off. stan On 6/6/17 9:18 AM, Michael Weisner wrote: > Stan, > > I would very much like to upgrade to the new design. > > Does $225 include the complete kit of parts to convert from the metal > car to the newly redesigned version?

When we pulled it out, the hull became wedged on the trailer at what would be a twenty degree hell (on the water).? The "not on the water" part really sucked. I don't know if having the? special Spitzer R-22 trailer was a factor, but we got it back in the water with my Johnny on the spot (let's call him co-captain) buddy Tim aboard. ???? Tim manned the CB pennant while I returned boat and trailer to the water.? It barely floated off the bunks; Tim got the CB up.? We hauled, checked for damage (none seen) and launched again w/o trouble.? We were the morning's entertainment for a squad of volunteer firefighters practicing their drafting skills on a space near the ramp. Yeah, they laughed, but it was deserved ridicule, and we took it like men. ???? The real lesson learned (for me and you) is that everybody does something classically stupid every so often. Hopefully, we are not stupid too regularly.? Keep your top knot tight and your cabin dry!

These tubes fit in the slots above the pivot pin and serve to absorb the shock of a grounding. Mine were originally just pieces of garden hose but I am using flexible plumbing pieces now. Either should work fine. They should prevent the centreboard from crashing into the cap. Graham Graham Stewart Agile.

Very snazzy indeed. Jerry introduced me to the Rhodes when I first joined the list, before my pilgrimage to GB. At that time I met him driving to Indiana via a different route and three years later I was slow to recognize the park until I saw a Rhodes from the Redneck Yot Club lording over the mere pontoons, I didn't tell /Lark/ when I got back, but I did give her a good ride. Or she gave me one. The Swallow eggs were no doubt slightly scambled, but still there.

I've got the 6" extension which I thought was the max. Absolutely love it! You can't imagine the freedom it gives a single hander. I'm calling mine "Sally" and she steers far more consistently than I do. And she doesn't complain about sitting out in the sun while I'm in shade under bimini. But, mounting really needs to be 3" or 4" more inboard to move tiller equally in both directions. Right now it occasionally runs out of travel attempting to turn boat to stbd. As at least two others seem to have mounted theirs as I have, I'm puzzled as to why no one has said they had this problem. I have the adapter which will allow mounting on a near vertical surface but before I do that, wanted to check in with other users.

Why would you want to do that? Fishing wires in the space between the cockpit and the cabin liner is a pain - particularly if the wires have plugs on them that can't be removed as was the case with my instruments. I have attached a picture of my companionway with the instruments to show you where I needed to get the wires to. There is a bend in the wall just below the instruments where the inside space narrows considerably. Having done this several times I have found that the best route is to feed the wires up from under the seats where you can feed the wires up above the bend and then in towards the companion way. In my case there is a piece of wood above and parallel to the bend on the port side - a few inches below where the compass is mounted. I don't know why it is there or whether this is typical. You need to go around the outside end of the wood piece as you will otherwise be blocked or even worse get jammed. To feed the wires I found that the best tool is a standard electricians fish tape but the hook on the end needs to be modified. Fist the hook will catch on all manner of objects and wires and when that happens it can be a devil of a problem to retrieve it. Secondly, you need to have a way to grab the end when it reaches the hole you are aiming for. The attached picture shows how I modified the fish with tape to close off the hook and the addition of a loop of twine to give you something to grab. I push the fish into the space until it reaches the destination hole, pull the end of the tape through the hole using the twine loop, and then attach the wires to the twine loop and pull the fish back. Inside the cabin I found that the best place to feed wires fore and aft is under the port seat using hangers attached to the ledge that supports the seat. As I have my battery located with the holding tank under the Vee birth and the electrical panel located on the main bulkhead by the toilet I have quite a few wires located under the seat and then routed under the floor boards and up the compression post to the panel. If you would like a picture of this arrangement just let me know. I hope that helps. Graham Stewart Agile.

So I have tried unplugging the gas line and letting the motor run till it stalls, but I am still having problems. This is probably a silly question, but when one does that with the gas line, do you leave it unplugged until the next time you use it or do you reattach it after the motor stops, or does it matter? Just in case anyone wonders, I have been adding fuel treatment to the gas. Next question: I have found a local gas station which sells ethanol free gas and am going to switch to that. Will using it help clean out the carburetor or do I need to have it cleaned or replaced? I had a new carburetor put in last summer and the motor ran perfectly for a few outings before the problems recurred. Obviously, I know nothing about outboard motor functioning and the mechanic at my marina has been less than helpful. He doesn't seem to believe that it is an ethanol issue.

(the additives are supposed to slow this) and the residue can indeed foul your carburetor. The gas in your can could also be bad. Did you start with fresh gas at the beginning of the season? The fact that your motor ran perfectly for a few outings last summer does seem to indicate a fuel problem. You might want to try a fresh can of ethanol-free gas an see what happens. When we had problems years ago with our Yamaha we took it to Jim's Marine in Galena, MD. He cleaned the carb and tuned it up. He suggested that if we wanted to keep it running that way to use ethanol free gas. He also said that we should NOT run the motor out of fuel (which we had been doing) because even when you run it out, some fuel remains in the carb and can varnish the surfaces. We started using ethanol free gas (which we could find in Easton) and never had a bit of trouble for the 3 or 4 years after that that we owned the boat. You might want to talk to Jim as I see on his website, he is also a Mercury dealer and services those motors. BTW, according to several articles I've read, E15 gas will void the warranty on most marine engines. A better solution seems to be isobutanol which was recently approved for marine use in Maryland and is now evidently available at least at one place in Annapolis. http://www.boatingmag.com/ethanol-versus-isobutanol Also https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/talkofthebay/2017/4/6/bay-bulletin Where did you find ethanol free gas? We have a much bigger outboard on Tara but have managed so far to keep it ethanol free by bringing fuel up from Easton or going south for filling the tank.

I have the 6 hp Nissan, which is a rebranded tohatso same as Mercury. I have chased this problem,myself. The biggest problem with ethanol is it traps water and when you leave the boat for a week or so,the gas evaporates and the water sits around in a little pool and corrodes the pot metal that the carb is made of. This corrosion looks like little grains of salt, that do not dissolve the next time you come to the boat and hook up the fuel line. But they do get washed around the fuel bowl of the carb and tend to build up and plug the fuel jets of the carb. The fuel jets are what meters the gas to mix it with the air in the proper proportion. There are usually 3 jets, low /idle speed,mid speed,and high speed. the jets are very small holes that meter the fuel, idle jet is the smallest,and plugs the easiest. On two stroke motors, the jets are a lot bigger,they burn about twice the fuel as a four stroke motor. That and the fact that they mix oil with the gas, and that oil has additives in it for that purpose, they seldom plug up. What is your specific problem? Won't idle? Won't run good at all speeds? Hard starts ? At splash this year,my motor didn't want to idle and once I got up to half throttle,it start to choke up like it wasn't getting enough gas. I'd have to cut back to 1/4 throttle to keep it running. I changed the spark plug and the motor ran good,but still wouldn't idle. I adjusted the idle speed screw to make it run a little faster, and now it is dependable and won't stall even in gear. I believe that the idle jet is still plugged,but I have the idle set high enough that the mid range jet is making up for the plugged idle jet. If I were you ,i would change the spark plug first. It the cheapest thing to do $3.00 at auto zone. I use sea foam additive for the gas. Highly recommend non ethanol fuel with seafoam. I think you may be adding to your problems by reconnecting the fuel line after you let the carb run out of fuel at the end of the day. There is still pressure in the line, enough to fill the carb back up,so your running the carb dry was all for naught. Plus,when the tank warms up with tomarrows sun,it will put pressure on the fuel line once again filling it back up. Once you dock and tie up, disconnect the line and leave it disconnected until you go out again. Something to chew on, Jerry Lowe > Hi Susan, > > There is no such thing as ethanol build up.

If that were the case I would think everyone in the marina would have the same problem. Ethanol is not good for the motor over the long term but using a proper fuel treatment that apecifically addresses the ethanol issue should be all you need. Not every stabilizer has anti-ethanol properties. Having given the sum total of my advice I can't suggest what the problem is. I can only suggest that you see a good mechanic. The fact that the carburetor rebuild solved the problem for awhile suggests that the problem is still with the carburetor. Graham Graham Stewart Agile.

After numerous trips to the small engine mechanic for carburetor rebuilds, I have sworn to always use Rec gas in all my small engines and I haven't had another problem since. I haven't found using Rec gas afterwords will correct problems once they have occurred. For your issue, you might try using a spray carburetor cleaner, or a fuel additive such as Techron, which might work if the problem isn't too severe. I live in Florida and gasohol seems to deteriorate rather quickly when stored in small amounts such as an engine gas tank. I always use a fuel stabilizer in any gas I put in a small engine, this is an essential step regardless of the type of fuel you use. A lot of boaters down here use Sea Foam added to the fuel of their outboards and seem to think it helps. I've been using STA-BIL for many years with good success with Rec Gas, but it doesn't work well with gasohol. They have some other product for that application, which I haven't tried as I gave up using gasohol altogether. Gary S/V Moon Shadow 1978 Rhodes 22 S/V Blackfish 1987 Corsair F27 Ankona Fl.

Welcome to the Rhodes 22. I'm not sure how much specific advice I can give, hopefully others will chime in. I've been sailing since I was a kid but only got my Rhodes a couple years ago so my experience in this class is limited. In general for a used sailboat. 1. Is it all there? Boom, mast, rudder, hardware, lines. 2. Sails, a big repeated expense for every sailboat. The in mast furling main, if equipped, is convenient. I love mine, but admit there is a trade off in sail shape compared to traditional battens, pocket and a full roach. If you are new to sailing, this may not make sense or matter. But look for wear spots where the canvas sun shield attaches and the white sail sticks out of the mast. This appears to be a common failure point for the in mast furling main. Older sails make it harder to sail upwind, and generally lose efficiency. Which boat has newer sails? 3. Soft spots on the deck. Rhodes prior to the last several years had wood cores, like most trailerable overnighters and pocket cruisers. If there are spots on the deck that sound hollow or feel mushy, the wood is suspect. Repair is possible. Graham can provide the agonizing details. 4. Standing rigging. The Rhodes 22 can survive the loss of any single stay or shroud, but its best to inspect them all for torn strands or corrosion where the fitting is swedged to the ends. I understand from serious sailors on the coast that saltwater boats have a lifespan of 10-15 years for these parts. After that you are at risk for an exciting ping sound. 5. What options / upgrades do the boats in question have? The traveler bar mounted between the backstays is wonderful. The diamondboard vs higher aspect centerboard appears to be more robust for shallow water or trailer mishaps. The mast crane and foredeck fitting make it possible for one guy to raise the mast by himself in a fresh breeze. If you plan on trailer launching this plus a good trailer are vital. In Mast Furling is a convenience option that is especially nice for single handed evening or short sails. It also allows you to balance exposed jib and main for better control if you will do a lot of sailing in gusty conditions. Are the Rhodes you are looking at set up as pocket cruisers? Is that important for your? Head? Stove? pop top tent? Table/berth insert? Good cushions? Cushions are expensive, missing cushions are hard to recreate without a template. Captains chairs!!!! The revised pushpit and captains' chairs allow for great viability. If you lock an elbow around the backstay and use that arm to hold the sheet while the other elbow presses against the pushpit and holds the hiking stick you can maintain a rock steady perch no matter how far she heels over. 6. What owner accessories come with your the boats? If somebody is getting out of sailing the supply of safety vests, fenders, compass, safety flag, dock lines, anchors will make outfitting your new boat much more economical. Troll through the Defender websight and look at costs for things you won't have to buy. 7. Have the PO's made questionable improvements? Stan conducted an interesting experiment by redesigning the same model decade after decade, constantly tinkering. Most owner mods are not done by a Purdue engineer with many decades in the marine industry. Often good boats are screwed up by amateur shipwrights trying to make a good design do something it wasn't meant to do. Look for the boat that had great owner TLC but be wary of any boat that the PO redesigned. The Rhodes 22 is a great couples trailerable pocket cruiser, marina hopper and daysailer. If the PO tried to make it into something else, he may have created a Frankenboat.

I have no problem with starting or running at mid to high speeds, only low speeds and idling. I will buy some Seafoam and ethanol free gas as long as the station I found on line today actually has it. They were closed on Sunday so I will be calling tomorrow. Apparently Home Depot sells it as well but very pricey. And I will start leaving the gas line disconnected after use. I will report back on my success or not. If the idle jet is plugged, how does one solve that other than replacing the carburetor again? The mechanic at the marina has adjusted the idle higher, but then the motor revs so much when in neutral that I find it disconcerting. And my speed, when in gear, is higher than I want to maneuver through the marina so I have to keep putting it in neutral just to slow down. I just want things to be easier!!!

I have the 6 hp Nissan, which is a rebranded tohatso same as Mercury. I have chased this problem,myself. The biggest problem with ethanol is it traps water and when you leave the boat for a week or so,the gas evaporates and the water sits around in a little pool and corrodes the pot metal that the carb is made of. This corrosion looks like little grains of salt, that do not dissolve the next time you come to the boat and hook up the fuel line. But they do get washed around the fuel bowl of the carb and tend to build up and plug the fuel jets of the carb. The fuel jets are what meters the gas to mix it with the air in the proper proportion. There are usually 3 jets, low /idle speed,mid speed,and high speed. the jets are very small holes that meter the fuel, idle jet is the smallest,and plugs the easiest. On two stroke motors, the jets are a lot bigger,they burn about twice the fuel as a four stroke motor. That and the fact that they mix oil with the gas, and that oil has additives in it for that purpose, they seldom plug up. What is your specific problem? Won't idle? Won't run good at all speeds? Hard starts ? At splash this year,my motor didn't want to idle and once I got up to half throttle,it start to choke up like it wasn't getting enough gas. I'd have to cut back to 1/4 throttle to keep it running. I changed the spark plug and the motor ran good,but still wouldn't idle. I adjusted the idle speed screw to make it run a little faster, and now it is dependable and won't stall even in gear. I believe that the idle jet is still plugged,but I have the idle set high enough that the mid range jet is making up for the plugged idle jet. If I were you ,i would change the spark plug first. It the cheapest thing to do $3.00 at auto zone. I use sea foam additive for the gas. Highly recommend non ethanol fuel with seafoam. I think you may be adding to your problems by reconnecting the fuel line after you let the carb run out of fuel at the end of the day. There is still pressure in the line, enough to fill the carb back up,so your running the carb dry was all for naught. Plus,when the tank warms up with tomarrows sun,it will put pressure on the fuel line once again filling it back up. Once you dock and tie up, disconnect the line and leave it disconnected until you go out again. Something to chew on, Jerry Lowe > Hi Susan, > > There is no such thing as ethanol build up.

To clean out the idle jet, remove a really tiny screw on top of the carb and clean the jet hole with a really small wire (about the wire size of bread ties). This really worked for me. To help keep the gas good, do not use it after 2 seasons (1 season is probably better). I also use Valvtect gas treatment, recommended by Practical Sailor. I keep the hose in a sealed plastic bag after use. Always tighten the vent and gas cap to prevent moisture after use. I think we are all hoping for Isobutanol gas real soon. It might be available in Annapolis at the Annapolis Yacht Club, they have Gulf marine gas and might have converted a tank.

(the additives are supposed to slow this) and the residue can indeed foul your carburetor. The gas in your can could also be bad. Did you start with fresh gas at the beginning of the season? The fact that your motor ran perfectly for a few outings last summer does seem to indicate a fuel problem. You might want to try a fresh can of ethanol-free gas an see what happens. When we had problems years ago with our Yamaha we took it to Jim's Marine in Galena, MD. He cleaned the carb and tuned it up. He suggested that if we wanted to keep it running that way to use ethanol free gas. He also said that we should NOT run the motor out of fuel (which we had been doing) because even when you run it out, some fuel remains in the carb and can varnish the surfaces. We started using ethanol free gas (which we could find in Easton) and never had a bit of trouble for the 3 or 4 years after that that we owned the boat. You might want to talk to Jim as I see on his website, he is also a Mercury dealer and services those motors. BTW, according to several articles I've read, E15 gas will void the warranty on most marine engines. A better solution seems to be isobutanol which was recently approved for marine use in Maryland and is now evidently available at least at one place in Annapolis. http://www.boatingmag.com/ethanol-versus-isobutanol Also https://www.chesapeakebaymagazine.com/talkofthebay/2017/4/6/bay-bulletin Where did you find ethanol free gas?

Trailer lights are finicky things. I personally upgrade my boat trailers with LED the first time they annoy me. I'd have the bearings and tires checked out before towing at any speed. Trailers are notorious for causing minor denting of a sailboat hull if incorrectly placed bunks put pressure where internal support is lacking. The Rhodes (possibly excepting some ancient ones from the 70's built under license) seem to be stout little boats, so I expect the hull is fine. Stan has been using a custom made trailer from Triax out of North Carolina for a few years. I'd hate to put this heavy boat on a bad trailer without an experienced team backing me up. The triax trailer is a decent design, and puts pressure where it is supposed to. It comes with a single 4000 pound axle (6 lug), or options for two axles. I bought the single axle, and have hauled 6 hours plus Stan's guy hauled 8 hours for delivery. It isn't a fast haul with an Explorer, duel axles and a truck might be better if you are able to take long road trips with yours. This year I'll have to settle for a 3 hour run to Erie, weather and family responsibility permitting.

They are common on small engines that change orientation, like weed whackers and chain saws. Better quality outboard makers, like Evinrude, only use diaphragm carburetors. Others offer them as an option. I think idle jets are about the same regardless of carburetor architecture. The thing about ethanol is that it dissolves all the goo and water in the gas tank and fuel line that was left behind by ethanol-free gasoline. When the ethanol evaporates from an unused carburetor bowl, the contaminates separate out and are thus able to clog the jets. Additives keep the dirt and water suspended after the ethanol is gone.

The cost just was just under $5 per gallon. Avgas is really nice stuff. It does not have nearly the smell that typical car gas has and it seems to have a very long shelf life. We just flew our PPG on fuel that was at least 2.5 years old. I have not used it for my outboard motor, but it might be a very good solution.

Marine claims to solve this problem. One can buy it at certain Walmart stores which are in marine environments, else Amazon. We have struggled with this problem for ~ 15 years. Gasoline motors typically have low speed carb. problems at low speed because the low speed jets easily clog. The solution is an electric motor similar to Stan's new offering. Electric motors provide high torque at low speed which is exactly what one needs while docking. When day sailing we only use the electric motor. On a long cruise we may use the gasoline motor.

Sometimes, the excitement does not require water. I think that I've heard more sailing stories related to moving boats on land (wheel bearing failures, bunk/suppport failures, coupler failures, lost straps, etc.) not to mention those that had to do with stepping the mast or striking wires. The good thing is that in most tales, the craft was repairable and no one was seriously injured (except for the captain's ego in some cases).

I stepped on a sailboat for the first time 15 months ago, bought my Rhodes 12 months ago and haven't stopped learning and having fun since. Everything on the boat is intuitive, and as long as you have done some reading and understand the basic principles, you'll be able to have fun almost immediately. I say almost, because if your anything like me, the first sail will be more nerve wreaking than fun. In your position, I would want to see the boat in the water before buying it. There are a few spots on the boat which have a tendency to leak if not cared for. All can be easily fixed, but you don't want to find them on your first sail. Fortunately, its a positive flotation boat, so would wouldn't find yourself on the sea bed, but it would put quite a damper on your fun. I would also recommend going ahead and replacing your furling lines if you have the slightest question about them. They're cheap to replace, and its worth the money to know for sure that you can get your sails back in if you're uncomfortable. Other than that, just know that boats are expensive. The Rhodes 22 holds up really well, but I wouldn't recommend buying any boat at all if you are not prepared to drop an additional $2k for unknown or unforeseen issues. I am far from the most experienced sailor on the List, but if you have any questions or concerns along the lines of being new to sailing or boat ownership just give me a call or shoot me a text at 864.884.7147 or email me at austin.abel at gmail.com. Since I'm still pretty new myself, I have probably asked a lot of the same questions you are thinking through right now and can relate to your current position. -- View this message in context: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/Advice-Recommendations-Purchase-of-used-Rhodes-22-tp53297p53341.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Stabilizing gasohol is a common problem, so every marine supply and gas dock has something for it. Also, others on this thread have suggested products they have found effective. If by old, you mean your motor is more than 15 years old, then you should check that your mechanic has replaced everything besides the carburetor that is exposed to fuel. Although usually not a problem with outboards, especially old two cycles, there could be an old seal or gasket the ethanol is dissolving.

Part of the mandate is to push adding ethanol as far upstream in the distribution flow as possible, right to the refinery. So if the supply of ethanol becomes large enough, there won't be a choice. Ethanol cleans. In fact, some additives for high performance applications have included ethanol for years. The problem with ethanol in the marine environment is that it absorbs water. If the fuel sits long enough, the water separates. Recreational boats sit idle most of the time, as well as weed whackers and lawn mowers. So use an ethanol compatible additive that keeps the water in suspension. Rick On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 8:33 PM, Goodness wrote: > Rick. Look for those EPA mandates to go away.

That happened in ours and it was difficult to work it back out. If I recall correctly, and it's been a few years, there is a flap of velcro that comes down out of the pocket. You insert the batten and work the velcro around the base of it back up into the pocket. I think the loop of line is supposed to go around that flap to help help you take the batten (or the flap) out. Seems to be I needed a dull bladed dining knife to help me work it out, but as I say, it's been quite a while. There's a diagram from Lee sails that I think is similar to ours on the Doyle sail. http://www.leesails.com/velcro.htm Hope this addresses your problem.

I use it in that pocket on the flap to push the batten with the Velcro flap around it up into the sail. That pocket seems to point in he wrong direction to hold the attention itself. When removing it, I use the same fiberglass tool to break the grip of the Velcro so I can more easily use the loop to pull the loop back out and then the batten falls out if it isn't already. That's the last part I'm trying to figure out...I've had the batten slide out pet way a few times even when I knew it was wrapped up in that flap. I wouldn't think it could do that but I suppose there's enough motion in the sail to work it through there eventually. > On Jun 25, 2017, at 9:05 AM, Mary Lou Troy wrote: > > Alex are you sure the velcro isn't folded back on itself? That happened in ours and it was difficult to work it back out. If I recall correctly, and it's been a few years, there is a flap of velcro that comes down out of the pocket. You insert the batten and work the velcro around the base of it back up into the pocket. I think the loop of line is supposed to go around that flap to help help you take the batten (or the flap) out. Seems to be I needed a dull bladed dining knife to help me work it out, but as I say, it's been quite a while. > > There's a diagram from Lee sails that I think is similar to ours on the Doyle sail. > http://www.leesails.com/velcro.htm > > Hope this addresses your problem. > Mary Lou > ex R22 > now Rosborough RF246 Tara > > > >> On 6/25/2017 7:51 AM, S/V Lark wrote: >> What holds the vertical batten in place?

Note that our '86 had a reputation of being the most sailed boat - power or sail, in our marina. Our 2010 came with the CDI furler and It has performed very well. It is a bit tricker to get road ready that the GBI; however, it is much more flexible than the GBI so not as likely to "kink." We are not in Stuart, so I cannot give you any measurements.

Maybe next year I'll go with a simpler pulley system as recommended by "Skipper." But to not lose precious days this season, I went with a fast jerry-rigged solution. Questions: 1. Is the white vertical material on the hull against which the rolling wheel rolls the original Stan design? 2. If yes, what materials do I use to get it to stay vertical? Glue? Silicone? As shown in the photos, it swivels to a skewed position. That causes the outboard to rotate too far inward. -- View this message in context: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/Outboard-bracket-question-tp53365.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

When I bought my Rhodes it came with a furler that was missing most of it's parts so I bought the Alado. It was very easy to install and has mostly worked well. The only significant problem I had occurred about 10 months ago when the forestay broke off right at the bottom swage fitting while sailing. At the time, the forestay was only 2 years old as I had replaced it at the same time as the furler. The forestay break was not catastrophic to the boat as I quickly used a halyard as a temporary stay and limped home. I discussed this with a rigger (not the one who created that stay). He examined the stay and concluded that the problem was not improper swagging which was my conclusion but due to the rigging not allowing for the continuous port to starboard movement of the stay while underway. He suggested making the replacement stay slightly shorter and adding fittings that would allow for some side to side movement. I also made the new stay bigger in diameter. I use my alado with a fairly large genoa which is bigger than a 160. This sail is too big actually, I'd prefer a 135, but this genoa came with the boat. To convert to the Alado, I had to have a sail maker modify the genoa to have the proper bolt tape for the alado foil. The only furler issue I have had is really my own doing. I installed a furler line that is a little too large in diameter and sometimes when unfurling the line binds up in the hub, which requires pulling it in some and then re-releasing. Hope this helps.

When I bought my Rhodes it came with a furler that was missing most of it's parts so I bought the Alado. It was very easy to install and has mostly worked well. The only significant problem I had occurred about 10 months ago when the forestay broke off right at the bottom swage fitting while sailing. At the time, the forestay was only 2 years old as I had replaced it at the same time as the furler. The forestay break was not catastrophic to the boat as I quickly used a halyard as a temporary stay and limped home. I discussed this with a rigger (not the one who created that stay). He examined the stay and concluded that the problem was not improper swagging which was my conclusion but due to the rigging not allowing for the continuous port to starboard movement of the stay while underway. He suggested making the replacement stay slightly shorter and adding fittings that would allow for some side to side movement. I also made the new stay bigger in diameter. I use my alado with a fairly large genoa which is bigger than a 160. This sail is too big actually, I'd prefer a 135, but this genoa came with the boat. To convert to the Alado, I had to have a sail maker modify the genoa to have the proper bolt tape for the alado foil. The only furler issue I have had is really my own doing. I installed a furler line that is a little too large in diameter and sometimes when unfurling the line binds up in the hub, which requires pulling it in some and then re-releasing. Hope this helps.

If you have any movement in the line it is possible that tugging at gently (wouldn't want to jam it further) might loosen it. I seem to recall that happening to us once though I don't recall the circumstances. Our board would would sometimes foul with marine growth when the boat sat in the slip too long.

If you have any movement in the line it is possible that tugging at gently (wouldn't want to jam it further) might loosen it. I seem to recall that happening to us once though I don't recall the circumstances. Our board would would sometimes foul with marine growth when the boat sat in the slip too long. That's not your issue but just in case it is someone else's , we could often get the board to go all the way down by raising and lowering it as far as it would go several times and then take it out for a sail, tacking as much as we could. It was always a satisfying thump when it finally went down and the ball at the end of the line rested on the lip to companionway.

Sometimes a light stomping on the centerboard trunk would get it down. Failing that I'd let the line down about 4 inches and motor or beat into 1-2 foot waves, usually that would pop it loose and I could lower it normally the rest of the way. > > --Jason > > On Mon, Jun 26, 2017 at 5:25 AM, John Taaffe > > wrote: > >> Last weekend my Rhodes went hard aground >> >> The center board is now jammed ..... will not drop. >> Any ideas on unjamming it without pulling the boat out ? >> >> John Taaffe >> Little Egg Harbor.

Like everything in life we are a bit late, we intended on shipping it over in early to mid June. It now looks like the 28th of July will be the departure date from Baltimore. The transit time to Livorno (near Pisa) is supposed to be between 15 and 20 days. It certainly is not an economic decision to ship the boat as opposed to buying a small boat over there. But owning a boat is not a cold economic decision. Heck, building the things isn't either, ask Stan. One task is to trade my really nice trailer for a not-so-nice one because the boat must be shipped on a trailer and then transported to a nearby marina in Livorno. I will have to pay import duty on the trailer. The trailer will then be donated to the sailing program at the marina. Hence the desire for a "throw-away" trailer. Lucky for me Bob Lester is helping out with the exchange. Shipping cost to Italy on a Roll-on-Roll-off ship is around $4,300. There will be some fees at the Italian end for sure. I booked a nice Air-B&B**, the owner has a sailboat and is very simpatico. The cost was about $500 for two weeks from the 11th through the 25th. That should keep me there for the arrival and the inevitable bureaucratic run around. The boat is entering the EU under a TI, temporary import, which should give us 18 months in the EU/Schengen area before we have to leave. That will give us plenty of time to sail to Sicily, leave the boat over the winter. We will go back to our "home", a Catalina 387, where we will spend the winter in the Bahamas. We will have enough time the next summer to sail from Sicily to Croatia and then leave the boat in Montenegro or Croatia both of which are not in the Schengen Area.

With a few exceptions and loopholes a boat a non-EU boat can stay up to 18 months before having to leave the "the Schengen area". Some countries are EU members but not fully are not part of the agreement. Others such as Turkey, Albania and Montenegro are not members of the EU. So I would have to go there and leave the boat there for the winter before entering the Schengen area again. Hey don't knock reservoir sailing, most of the actual time I spent sailing with this current Rhodes was on a reservoir in the Cascades. But I hope perhaps a small seed of wanderlust has been planted among a few Rhodies. Chris G. On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 9:20 PM, S/V Lark wrote: > The 18 months in the EU statement had me confused.

Seven thousand islands and no boat! I am pleasantly surprised at the relatively inexpensive cost of shipping the boat. I could pay (but won't!) that much for a week stay in a 5 star hotel on Boracay. I rent a small outrigger, Funnysong, that has none of the bells and whistles found on my Rhodes 22. In high winds, it is almost impossible to tack so I land on the nearest island and turn the boat in the new direction. If I had Second Wind here, the tropical dream would be complete. I look forward to reading of your continuing adventures. Joe Riley s/v Second Wind, Lake Hartwell SC (usually) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Geankoplis To: The Rhodes 22 Email List Sent: Wed, Jun 28, 2017 9:03 am Subject: [Rhodes22-list] SAILING TO ITALY My wife and I are in the beginning stages of shipping our well traveled R22 to northern Italy. * I thought that I would keep the list posted with details and some photos of the process. Like everything in life we are a bit late, we intended on shipping it over in early to mid June. It now looks like the 28th of July will be the departure date from Baltimore. The transit time to Livorno (near Pisa) is supposed to be between 15 and 20 days. It certainly is not an economic decision to ship the boat as opposed to buying a small boat over there. But owning a boat is not a cold economic decision. Heck, building the things isn't either, ask Stan. One task is to trade my really nice trailer for a not-so-nice one because the boat must be shipped on a trailer and then transported to a nearby marina in Livorno. I will have to pay import duty on the trailer. The trailer will then be donated to the sailing program at the marina. Hence the desire for a "throw-away" trailer. Lucky for me Bob Lester is helping out with the exchange. Shipping cost to Italy on a Roll-on-Roll-off ship is around $4,300. There will be some fees at the Italian end for sure. I booked a nice Air-B&B**, the owner has a sailboat and is very simpatico. The cost was about $500 for two weeks from the 11th through the 25th. That should keep me there for the arrival and the inevitable bureaucratic run around. The boat is entering the EU under a TI, temporary import, which should give us 18 months in the EU/Schengen area before we have to leave. That will give us plenty of time to sail to Sicily, leave the boat over the winter. We will go back to our "home", a Catalina 387, where we will spend the winter in the Bahamas. We will have enough time the next summer to sail from Sicily to Croatia and then leave the boat in Montenegro or Croatia both of which are not in the Schengen Area. If anyone has any ideas or information that my help in this process, do let me know. If I can answer any questions, again, let me know.

One of the most common request is for a picture of the boom room deployed. Unfortunately, it seemed to be raining or the mosquitoes were on the warpath so we were not out in the dinghy taking pictures. I've attached a paper the shows all the panels laid out (both sides) so those interested can see the condition. Also is included a propane tent heater that has a low oxygen sensor and tip over switch. We used this heater often to warm up the cabin/boom room making a cold wet day much nicer and allowing us to really explore regions we would not have done in such comfort. As shown on the attachment everything stows in a modest size ventilated container including the heater and as a long 3" diameter bundle that we stowed on the ledge in the focst'le.

Last fall it was too week to drain the bottom third of the tank. Being cheap, I bought the rebuild kit not the replacement pump. No directions. I took out the wrong screws, so I had to rewire it and bench test it to determine polarity. Either it didn't matter or I guessed right?

Do all of you have the Jabsco Par Max 1 pump? Have you found it adequate for your water needs? Did the factory REALLY use a storage container from Staples for the water tank?! I agree, it should have been wired through the panel. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the R22? It would sure be helpful. I'm also looking for drawings for the R22.

After bringing the boat and trailer to my home, I had the trailer inspected prior to my first trip. It passed okay and they lubricated the hubs. I made round trip to the boat yard about 140 miles away, leaving "Respite" on the hard through the winter where some work was done on it. I returned home with the trailer. I added lube to the hubs ( (Triad uses the E-Z Lube hubs by Tie Down Engineering and was somewhat curious that no grease was coming out of the exit port (my term) but it kept taking the grease. Upon removing the wheel and bearings I found them to be rusted and the brake drum FULL of grease. I removed the bearings, races etc and ordered new ones based on the numbers of what came out. WRONG! The bearings were correct but the seals were the next larger size. I had made numerous calls to Tie Down (hub manufacturer) which during that period actually sold their Marine Division to Dexter Axel . I found several discrepancies that did not jive with the documentation that came with the trailer. Specifically, the trailer is a 2009 model. Tie Down has two versions of their EZ hub...Pre-2002 and post-2002. My hubs, as it turns out, are the pre-2002 version. Very strange! As it turned out, the bearings WERE the correct bearings, the SEAL that came out was too big. It was for a 2-1/4" dia. spindle (axle). The axles on my trailer are actually 2-1/8" dia. !! Both use the same bearings, it is just the seals that are different. ALSO be sure the seals are the spring loaded double lip seal (these are easily identified by the rubber coating over the entire seal) NOT the metal seals. I still am not getting the flow of "old" grease so probably have to remove bearings again and inspect the races between the hub and axle for caked grease and rust. Re-lube your trailer axles after launch if you have standard hubs. If you have the EZ lube hubs, identified by the grease fitting behind a rubber plug in the center of the hub, you don't have to lubricate as often, according to the mfgr. but more often is better. ----- JP Dempsey s/v Respite Marshall,VA -- View this message in context: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/Advice-Recommendations-Purchase-of-used-Rhodes-22-tp53297p53420.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Message-ID: <1498881272037-53432.post@n5.nabble.com> Coming back from Kentucky Lake my Waze navigation software redirected me from a nice straight highway to hillbilly road to hillbilly town where I made a sharp turn to find hillbilly low bridge. We blocked traffic while we crept and my lady watched. The mast crutch cleared by < 1 inch. Then I drove through construction at night with lanes bordered by concrete only 8'6" wide for a couple miles. My parents' neighbor lost their brand new camper trailer there a week later, the wheel snagged a concrete divider that was a tad crooked. I'm looking for less stress this year. What I found: Truckers and my own neighbor (who made his first RV into a convertible) use stand alone gps systems that cost $400-500. There is an app for "copilot" truck that costs 150 but includes updates. Ford doesn't realize people use their vehicles to pull trailers and apparently doesn't have an upgrade for the built in nav system. I'm waiting to check with a guy that delivers new livestock trailers for a living, but he got caught with a double trailer rig 17 inches too long so his holiday was sacrificed to drive the trip twice. What do you guys use? Do you like it? I have an iPhone and GPS equipped iPad for navionics that will already be with me.
