[Rhodes22-list] what is the oldest R22

[Lowe, Rob]

Carl,
Sounds like you have have the oldest boats in the fleet and she is much different from the current designs.  I for one would be interested in seeing any pictures if you have any. - rob

I have a 1970 continental , the hull number is not in the GB format, not sure
why.
However my title says 1970 Rhodes 22, hull number NJZ322820686.
Not sure what is the reason for the odd hull number.
some things are different on mine i have noticed, rigging has fewer lines (6
rather than 9) no compression post (uses a beam across the cabin roof).
Shorter galley, longer v-berth, no front ports ,nor hatches.
not sure which features are originals, which have been changed/added over
the years, but that is what I have.
 She is a tough old boat though, have sailed her a bunch, in lakes here in
Arkansas , the gulf a bit, and one trip to Bimini.
Currently fixing her up for the summer, looking for a used poptop slider if
anyone has one laying about.

Carl
