[Rhodes22-list] Head sail repair and broken stay

[stan]

Mike,

Thanks for liking your Rhodes.

I have not seen the several emails you refer to.  Were they sent to:
     stan at generalboats.com  (stan at rhodes22.com is long since not received.)

I do recall getting an early email from you re some non-pressing issue 
which I responded to asking you to stop by the plant on your way back 
from WI to GA but I do not recall ever getting your response to that 
suggestion.  If you are now back in GA we can ship you a new stay with 
guidance on installation should you need that.  As a default member of 
our new Rhodes Owners Cooperative (ROC) the stay is a free replacement.  
Since our emails have been running afoul, in case you missed it, we have 
a third web site dedicated to Rhodes Parts and Services   
www.rhodes22parts.com Since, by its very nature, this site will never 
cease being under construction, it is kept published for whatever value 
it can provide to the ROC community while under perpetual building.  
When you get a chance, visit it and join the Rhodies criticisms, 
productive or otherwise.

There are a few additional sites coming, covering other ROC members' 
future benefits.  Will keep you posted.  In the meantime, should you run 
across any he, she or they, that you may think may have an interest, I 
am still looking for partnering for GB's second 60 years, now that we 
have all this experience.
