Last year I got a new 130 Genoa for Country Rhodes. I had the 12 year old
sail, that the sun guard was starting to fray, restitched after the
sailmaker used it for a pattern. $100 + shipping.

I?ve been thinking about trying a smaller genoa.  I?ve got the CDI furler. Do you know if it will work with that?

Is the sail in decent shape? I tore mine end of last season so am looking
for a replacement that can last a couple seasons.

As many of you are aware, much of the standing rigging on our Rhodes 22?s is sourced from the Dwyer Aluminum Mast Company (www.dwyermast.com <http://www.dwyermast.com/>).  I?m pretty sure they manufacture the IMF mast for GB, but as Stan has pointed out on this list in the past, he owns the die used for the process, not them.  The relationship between GB and Dwyer probably dates back to when Stan?s operation was on Long Island, since Dwyer was conveniently located in North Branford, CT, not too far away.

I say was because I just became aware that Dwyer has undergone a change in ownership, and is currently in the process of moving the operation to Bristol, RI.

I have no idea what impact, if any, this change will have on the Rhodes 22 community.  My fear is that whatever institutional knowledge that may have existed at Dwyer concerning the Rhodes 22 will be diminished, or lost altogether.

Fellow Rhodie's, I am considering a Bimini for my cock pit. What height
best suits
the IMF boom? From an engineering point I guess it would be similar to the
conventional mast / boom set up. Yea I know assume nothing.

Second question, does anyone have the tube frame with the spring stud that
locks
in holes of the adjoining tube. This is for easy / quick locking for easy
installation
or removable of the frame?

Thanks in advance for all of the good information you generous and
knowledgeable  people always provide.

A friend with a Catalina 22 has one for his boat. It seems to be a good

Stan offers a pop top enclosure that is custom fit to the Rhodes.  I currently sail on the Potomac River and do not use the enclosure however when I sailed and anchored overnight on the Chesapeake Bay I found the enclosure a must have item.  It offers lots of extra enclosed space for privacy and keeps the bugs out.

Cary,

I consider my Bimini to be a piece of essential equipment on my boat, so I think you?re on the right track to consider one for yours.

At the moment, my Bimini is in a canvas shop getting new fabric installed, and my boat is under about 8? of fresh snow, so I can?t measure anything for you, but then I?m also not sure what measurement you?re looking for.

When my Bimini is unfolded, the boom just barely clears it.  (I have the IMF mast/boom.)  In fact sometimes if I?m close hauled in light winds, I ?ll put some tension on the topping lift just to keep the boom clear of the Bimini.  

As for second question, my Bimini does not have any sections of telescoping tubing.  It?s made of three fixed length U shaped tubes which pivot, allowing it to be folded up and moved forward or aft when not deployed.  The longest U shaped tube connects to the boat forward of the winches, the two shorter tubes connect to the longest tube.  

Disconnecting the Bimini only requires removing two short bolts.  I only do this for winter storage.

Chris, Thanks for the opinion of someone that actually has experience with
the pop top. I try to support Stan with the big stuff.
It seems that Stan is very,very slow on replying to Emails with questions
on his products.

I have the pop-top enclosure and can't imagine owning a Rhodes 22 without it.  I am a cruiser rather than a racer.  The pop top gives protection from the elements and is easy to set up.  You just throw it over the pop-top and snap it on.  It folds compactly.  It is possible to sail with it up.  With a small heater, I often spend some cold winter nights onboard dockside.   It turns the sloop into an occasional "motor sailer".  Visibility is great.  I got mine from GB when I bought the boat.  It looks great too.  Joe Riley s/v Second Wind Lake Hartwell GA.

I am considering a "pop top enclosure". I am looking for information and
experiences
with this item. Present or past "real experience" will be helpful.
A friend with a Catalina 22 has one for his boat. It seems to be a good
idea for overnights on the boat. This item does not show up on the list
very often, so will it be worth the expense and is it worth the effort?

Thanks!

Chris, Thanks for the opinion of someone that actually has experience with the pop top. I try to support Stan with the big stuff.
It seems that Stan is very,very slow on replying to Emails with questions on his products.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Gas Tank storage while under way?
Message-ID: <1521129361666-0.post@n5.nabble.com>

I purchased my Rhodes last year. I also purchased a new Honda 8HP extra-long
shaft outboard. The gas tank was included with the motor. I will be sailing
on the Chesapeake Bay and the Chester River above Kent Island Maryland.

I planned to secure the gas tank under the bench seat when under way, either
Sailing or motoring. And. I planned to store the gas tank in the stern
locker when I am in the slip. When I first used the tank, it was a low
enough profile to secure under the bench. However, my gas tank (permanently)
expanded after being in the sun and will no longer fit under the bench seat.
Is it ok to store it in the stern locker (securely restrained) while under
way or should I keep it secured on the cockpit sole? It definitely gets in
the way while sailing and motoring.

And I realize than Stan thinks I shouldn?t need a motor because I am
supposed to be sailing ... ha ha. I agree but exiting the marina and getting
past the jetty would be very difficult.

Thanks very much.

When Stan was recycling my boat in 2016, he did not have a pop top enclosure (PTE) on hand, so I made an inquiry here on the list and purchased a used one from a member (thanks Marvin). I sent it to Stan, who made sure that snaps were installed on the cabin in the appropriate locations.

Initially, I set it up every night I was at anchor.  It takes me 10 - 15 minutes to set up; a little longer to take down, since it has to folded very carefully to fit in its storage bin.  

As time went on, I?ve used it less often.  If conditions are pleasant, I just don?t bother.  There?s little benefit, and I don?t mind dropping the pop top while I?m sleeping to keep dew out of the cabin.  Another consideration is that the enclosure greatly reduces ventilation, even with three screened panels (two windows, and the door.

But if conditions are less pleasant (cold, windy, buggy, rainy), I will gladly take the time to set it up, and like the Bimini, I consider it to be essential equipment.

Unlike a Bimini, a folded PTE can be shipped pretty easily.  The best sources would be Stan, or a member of this list who has one they?re willing to sell.  In either case, obviously you be talking about a used piece of gear.  To have a new one custom made would be pretty expensive, I?d guess.

I think it is safer to keep the gas tank in the cockpit.  My tank is secure with a bracket that GB provided.  The 5 gallon tank fits under the bench however I need to remove the gas cap to slide it in and out.

We love our pop top enclosure. Your other positive responses reflect our experience so I won't add to them. We bought ours from Stan 20 years ago.
We have swallowed the anchor so are ready to sell our boat.

The aft locker is pretty open to the outside under the seats, but that?s at the top the compartment.  Gas fumes being heavier than air would collect toward the bottom.  For this reason, pretty much everyone would recommend against storing gasoline in the aft locker.  (I?d call it the lazarette, but I don?t know how to spell it, and neither does my spell checker.)

I?d find having the tank on the cockpit sole fairly intolerable, so I?d probably buy a new one that will fit under the seats.

I?m pretty sure every gas tank will have a vent in the cap that can be either open or closed.  This instructions will tell you to always close the vent unless the tank is connected to the motor, and the motor is running.  I almost always leave mine open.  I do this because I?m afraid that if I close the vent, I will forget to open it when starting the motor, and the gas-starved motor will quit at the most inconvenient time possible.  However, another side benefit to always leaving the vent open is that it may prevent your gas tank from blowing up like a balloon if left in the sun.

Bob,

Save your boat and get a new gas tank.

If the Coast Guard patrols where you will sail, they will give you a ticket
if they find a gas tank in the lazarette.  If you can't prove you can
operate without the tank in the lazarette, they will confiscate your boat.

Thanks Chris
I agree about the safety part so I'll give that a try and see if it fits
that way.

I got the poptop when I bought my '86 in 03. Wouldn't dream of
overnighting with out it. If you have bugs or it rains in your neck of the
woods, its a must. It does a very good job of keeping the inside dry. It
does cut down on ventilation, but it keeps the dew on the outside of the
cabin. I use it with the bimini, so I can go out the door in a rain storm
and roll down the side windows and leave the back window open and still
not get wet. Getting stuck at anchor in the rain is a whole lot nicer with
standing headroom. I'm on a small well protected lake, on calm nights, I
anchor from the rear, and use the bimini as a air scoop. I also run the
rode around the outside of the rigging to the front cleat, so if it gets
snarky, I undo the rode at the stern cleat and let the boat swing around
to weather. I highly recommend both the bimini and the poptop.

I bought my Pop Top Enclosure when I bought the boat from Stan in 2014 and
I'm really glad I have it. In addition to all the same reasons others have
mentioned here, I have discovered that it also keeps raccoons out of the
cabin when I am sleeping overnight on the boat.  On a related topic, I can
also recommend the table top placed on the floor of the cockpit at night to
serve as a critter alarm when sleeping aboard. A couple years ago I was
staying overnight and left my Bimini up, but took my table top off the post
and placed it on the floor under the Bimini because light rain was a
possibility. (I was staying by myself, so I didn't need the table top for
the bunk.) At 3 am, I heard a "clunk" in the cockpit, stood up and looked
out the side window of the Pop Top Enclosure and was nose to nose with the
raccoon who had jumped on the "teeter-totter" table top and stopped on his
way out to look in the window. And finally, on a still related topic, this
past Tuesday I went to check on my boat (1.5 hours away) and discovered a
raccoon in the back Lazarette. He has since been caught in a live trap and
removed. I just bought a couple of battery and solar operated ultrasonic
devices to try to discourage boarders in the future.  If anyone has better
advice, please let me know.

We had 2 three gallon tanks on Fretless (with a quick connect fitting so 
we could switch from one to the other easily). They were different 
brands and for one or them, we had to take the gas cap off to slide it 
under (and then put the cap back on once it was in position.) For both 
of them, there was more clearance under the bench seats forward so we 
would put them in around the middle of the cockpit and then slide them 
back into position. They stayed in place that way and we never had a 
bracket or anything else to secure them.

I would not store a gas tank in the lazarette even at the dock. There is 
a reason power boats have blowers in the bilge.

Make sure you flush the engine with freshwater after every use. Our 
original Honda died from salt water corrosion. We kept the boat in a 
slip and could not flush the motor easily and didn't really know any 
better. It was an expensive lesson. I believe the newer Hondas have a 
flushing port that is easier to reach.

You are sailing in our home waters. Lots of great places to anchor our 
within a few hours. Enjoy!

Yes Cary, the bimini is the 1st thing I bought after the Rhodes and it is
delightful to have on those very hot summer days especially when spending
multiple days on the boat.  Mine also mounts on the jib car and while it
does limit the jib car movement the installation is very simple.  I bought
it from Stan and at the time he had a lot of inventory and was giving a
great deal.  FYI, my 1st bimini canvass was destroyed when I lost the Carol
Lee in a hurricane.  The frame however was fine.  I was able to buy a new
canvass and cover for only $180 from a local supply store (Boats & Motors
in Woburn, MA) and it fit perfectly.  No need to pay for custom work.

Good luck,

I keep 2 - 6 gallon tanks under the cockpit seats.  It is a little tight
getting them in and out but the forward tank has a longer hose so I do not
have to move them to use either tank.  They only come out from under the
seat to be refilled.

I would NEVER keep a gas tank in an enclosed space on a boat.  Way TOO
DANGEROUS.

Message-ID: <1521212571832-0.post@n5.nabble.com>

I am looking to replace my motor with one that features best steering control
and gear change. I do not have or want the extra gadgetry of linkage between
rudder and motor. It may be a shaft-length issue, but my prop will hit the
rudder if steering is not coordinated. But biggest problem for me is that
the motor-tiller is almost vertical and difficult to reach when underway.
Two questions: Are there any recommendations for a "best motor" for control,
and are there any recommendations for "best" steering arrangements when
motoring? In other words, does anyone have experience raising the rudder
when motoring or locking the motor in fixed position with steering with
rudder down? Or any other variation?

I have a 2016 model 8 HP Mercury outboard.  The feature about that I most like is that both throttle and gear selection are integrated in a single control on the motor?s tiller arm (if that?s the term).  Start in neutral gear. Twisting in one direction puts the motor in forward. Continuing to twist increases the throttle.  Twist the other way to decrease the throttle, eventually returning to neutral.  Continuing to twist puts the motor in reverse, and again the further you twist the greater the motor speed.

I have Stan?s motor tiller link, and I find it really helps when maneuvering in tight spaces.  But when I don?t need that level of control, I don?t bother to connect it.  In this case, I lock the outboard so it won?t turn, and I steer with the boat?s rudder.  I find this works fine.  It has never occurred to me to raise the rudder and try to steer the boat by turning the outboard.  I can see how this might be a useful trick in very shallow water.  Other than that though, I don?t think it would be my preferred approach since the main tiller is much easier to work with than the outboard.

People on the list have often said that if your rudder has been properly pulled forward (using the line that connects to the forward edge of the rudder), it will not hit the propeller.  I can?t say that I know for sure that this is universally true, but it definitely true in my case.  If the rudder has been pulled forward, it won?t hit the prop; if it hasn?t, it will.

Hello all. I made the (long, drawn out) decision to purchase a recycled
Rhodes 22 recently and will be taking delivery of an '87 model in April.

The sv Emma B will call Athens, GA her home port (can it be called a port
with no body of water?), but will trailer with me to many of the epic areas
I travel to for work.

I'm pretty excited about this next chapter of my life. I have to give a lot
of credit for this decision to Stan (of course) who has patiently answered
about 1 million emails about his boats for me, and to Peter Nyberg. His
well thought out and edited series of videos have been a big inspiration to
me a potential solo sailor. Like Peter, I come from an avid outdoor
recreation background. I do wish I had his woodworking skills though!!

This is my first sail boat, and I anticipate making lots of newbie errors
as I learn the lines. The Emma B will be traveling with me to WI for the
summer and I plan to take a sailing course there to help limit those "oh,
crap" moments.

Looking forward to meeting some of you along the way!

Welcome to the list.
Don't be concerned about making "newbie errors". With time and experience
they will all give way to errors that are just stupid ones.

Welcome aboard Mike.

It?s good to hear that Stan is still turning out recycled boats. I assumed he was, but he hasn?t been making many appearances here on the list lately.

And, of course, I?m also happy to hear that you?ve found my YouTube videos useful.  I enjoy making them, but I do so partly in the hope that they will occasionally be useful to somebody somewhere sometime. 

If you have questions going forward, don?t be afraid to ask them here. There lots of people who would be happy to offer their opinions.

Have fun,

Hello Mike, I am also new to the Rhodes family and live in Georgia
(Woodstock, GA).  I purchased ?Morning Star?  (1996/recycled in 2009) in
January and just put her into Lake Allatoona this weekend.  It would be
great to  get together and sail on each other?s boats.  Let me know if you
want to go out before you take delivery.  I?m still
getting ?the feel? for her as I?ve only sailed her twice now.  It?s nice to
find another Georgia Rhodes owner.  Reach out to me and let?s connect.

Hi Mike

Welcome to the list.  We now have two Rhodes 22's in Athen's GA.  I have my boat, Second Wind, docked on the South Carolina side of Lake Hartwell at Big Water Marina.  Let me know if I can be of help in this new chapter of your life.  Joe Riley

Hi Monte,

Welcome to the Georgia Rhodes family.  I am in Athens GA and have my boat on lake Hartwell. I am retired from UGA and have had my boat for 8 years.  I would enjoy swapping stories and seeing Morning Star.  Maybe we could have a meeting of the Georgia Rhode Scholars over some libations.  Best wishes on your new adventure!  Joe Riley, Athens Ga

Hello Mike, I am also new to the Rhodes family and live in Georgia(Woodstock, GA).  I purchased ?Morning Star?  (1996/recycled in 2009) inJanuary and just put her into Lake Allatoona this weekend.  It would begreat to  get together and sail on each other?s boats.  Let me know if youwant to go out before you take delivery.  I?m stillgetting ?the feel? for her as I?ve only sailed her twice now.  It?s nice tofind another Georgia Rhodes owner.  Reach out to me and let?s connect.Monte Steen678-571-0672--Sent from: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/__________________________________________________To subscribe/unsubscribe go to http://www.rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-listFor the list Charter and help with using the mailing list and archives go to http://www.rhodes22.org/list__________________________________________________

I also use a Mercury outboard for the reasons Peter stated and last year i
got the motor tiller linkage which works great.  Agree with everything
Peter said. I use a 9.9 hp Merc long shaft.  Before adding the tiller
linkage my prop has struck my rudder but the rudder was not all the way
down.  Make sure your rudder and motor are both fully down and motor is
centered on mounting bracket.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Old R22 cockpit sole pic - I cut it out :(
Message-ID: <1522522507752-0.post@n5.nabble.com>

I haven't posted here in a while but my boat has been waiting for me in
storage to get it ready for the water again. My first project is to fix the
spongy cockpit sole. (This boat is from early 70's). So I cut out the raised
portion not really knowing what I'd find but expecting waterlogged plywood.
Anyway turns out I was sure wrong. It is solid fiberglass with a box-like
bulkhead structure underneath with a 2x4 going laterally. And full of pieces
of foam!!  So now I am going to make new bulkheads and redo and install the
same piece of glass back over the new box. So the reason it was spongy was
not waterlogged core as it had no core. It was delamination between the sole
and the bulkheads/box. It also looks like some of the tabbing for the
bulkheads has come loose. Anyway just thought I'd share how my boat was put
together like 45 years ago.

Certainly not what I would expect to find.  Fortunately, my cockpit sole feels quite solid, so I hope to never have a reason to take it up and find out what?s underneath.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve,

 

I am sailing my second Rhodes 22, a 1991 with IMF, a much better constructed
version than my original Rhodes 22 (pre-IMF delivered by Stan in the spring
of 1981).   Both have provided many hours of pleasure and frustration.

 

The following is from a post that I made in February 2009, before I owned
the '91 R22 on a cockpit sole repair solution:

Several years ago I faced a similar problem with the cockpit floor of my '81
R22.  The floor had two additional major problems, both responsible for the
admission of water.  When the boat was new, we witnessed the development of
"star burst" patterns of damage in the cockpit floor gelcoat.  They were
circular with radial lines extending 3 to 4 inches from the  center.  Over
the years, water must have entered the glass layers in the floor through
these defects to cause the second and more serious problem: the separation
or delamination of the floor components.  The freeze and thaw cycles of the
NY winter increased the damage to floor, using the trapped water as a wedge.
This became evident when the floor "oil canned" as a large bubble formed
beneath the upper layers.  This was compounded by the destruction of the
foam below as water continued to pass through the floor, destroying the
support system for the cockpit floor.  Eventually, the top layer of the
floor cracked and I was able to see into the separated layers directly.

 

I concentrated my efforts on rebuilding the cockpit floor to take the
punishment that it gets in normal use.  After drilling holes in the floor to
access the internal layers, I spent several months drying out the floor
using acetone and fans while keeping water out of the cockpit using tarps.
I added structural wood supports and plywood to the foam below the cockpit.
I removed all damaged foam and replaced it.  When the structure below was
solid and the floor was dry, I used penetrating epoxy from West Marine to
reattach the layers of glass injected through 1/8" holes, compressing the
floor down using bricks on wax paper.  Once that the epoxy had cured, I
filled the holes and any remaining voids using 105/206/407, finishing flush
with the gel coat.

 

Because I am not skilled enough with gel coat repairs and wish to prevent a
similar failure in the future, I finished the cockpit floor with
"Treadmaster Original Smooth Pattern" anti-slip deck covering.  It is about
$150 per 3' x 4' sheet, is 1/8" thick and is secured with water proof
adhesive.  I used two sheets, one white and another blue, cut into each
other.  This restored the cockpit floor, providing a really comfortable (on
the feet) polymer surface that absorbs shock well and prevent water from
entering the floor.

 

After an entire season of use, I can honestly say that it is the most
comfortable cockpit floor that I have ever felt.  The upkeep is easy.  The
surface is non-skid and soft under foot.  I should have put it in years ago.

 

A photo of the floor may be viewed in the original message at:

http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/attachments/20090203/b248046

Good luck restoring the cockpit sole and support.

Yeah, it looks big but won't be bad to do. In my case I would have been
better off not to worry about it and have some squishyness. But while I have
it in a covered shed might as well get her done.

Thanks for the detail on your floor project. I'm sure the freeze/thaw cycle
affected mine too but for this old of  boat it held together pretty well.
Curious what kind of foam you used and you put it in.
