[Rhodes22-list] My 2 cents

[Mike Riter]

Cecilia, it is not, nor ever has been my intention to reverse engineer
anything GB sells. I’m not here to create a business to make parts for
boats. Stan stated the new car was a huge improvement over the old one and
I simply wanted a photo to see if mine was the new or old one. Perhaps
posting photos of the parts you sell on the GB parts website might have
prevented this whole exchange.

I’ve said several times I’m not here to take business away from GB and will
continue to repeat that until it sinks in. Your insinuation that I’m trying
to do that is offensive to me. The couple of things I’ve created have made
single handing the boat easier for me.

As a newer Rhodes owner and even newer sailor I’m excited to share these
rather small accomplishments with what I had hoped to be a new community of
like minded friends.
