I’m in Edenton as I write this. I’m picking up a recycled 1988 Rhodes. We
did the sea trial this past Sat and Stan went out with us. GB is still
going with one full time employee (Tino) and some help from pt and friends.
The place has so much potential, I think the right person could really do a
lot with it. I really hope he finds someone to pick it back up.

Hi again Folks;

While waiting for a response to my inquiry about whether General Boat
still exists, whether the Certificate of Support exists, and what the best
way to go about selling my boat is, I took a walk back through time in the
archive and found this from Stan:
"To all the great Rhodes owners on the List (persona non grata know who
you are):


As it must to all who pass this way, unless a strategic partner(s) line
is tossed, the Rhodes 22 is being stocked for its sail into the sunset.

Whatever gods may be, having collectively conspired with their tools of
death (Elton's), dementia (Rose's) and old age (mine), are sending the
Rhodes on its final sail to parts unknown.

For private sale buyers and sellers who negotiated the C of S program
out at their closings, the parts department is now closed.  GB
Commitments, and plant projects under way, continue being honored.

Thanks to all Rhodies who contributed to such a long running, fun
adventure.  The Annapolis Show, being paid for, must go on.  For those
who can make it, if I can, will see you then.

That was posted more than one year ago in May 2017. It sure sounds like
Stan was closing up shop or at least looking for a buyer or partner.
In light of the flat out statement by one contributor that the place is up
and running it sounds even stranger that they can’t be reached by phone.
I will surely be happy to give folks details about my boat (she’s a peach)
directly but it sure would be nice to get a detailed straight story about
where things stand with the business. I see a recent comment by Stan on
this list so I am also a bit dazed about why he hasn’t chimed in with the
facts. Maybe he’s traveling . Oh well, thanks to all
