[Rhodes22-list] public notice all Rhodies

[stan]

After countless years of flawless delivering Rhodes 22s and picking up 
recycling candidates, Richard Beytagh is retiring to pursue the dream of 
rebuilding a classic, bigger, much bigger sailboat than we have a 
trailer for or a street big enough for him to deliver it to.  We know 
that one day he will have the itch that all Rhodies who move up, sooner 
or later acquire; that of getting back to single handing a Rhodes, 
particularly one with the wonderful feel of its solid fiberglass 
tiller.  We might make the case of the return to a Rhodes by 
mover-uppers, once they satisfy their big boat dream, by pointing to 
lifetime Rhodes owners Alice and Chris who. when they went bigger, 
avoided the return to a Rhodes itch by not only /not/ selling their 
Rhodes but buying a second Rhodes to maintain a sense of balance. The GB 
answer has always been own the single handing Rhodes and Charter the big 
ones that require two hands.

In that meantime until Richard comes home, this phase of the General 
Boats business is now open to any and all Rhodies who would like their 
own business, where they are their own boss, take whatever assignment he 
or she or they wish, set their own fees and be paid on the spot.  
Requirements; only two:  You must own, or have owned, your own Rhodes 
and be intimately familiar with all its charms (which translates to 
having slept with or on it at least one night). The other, a vehicle.

Here is your chance to be paid to see the country and more of its 
different waters than anyone else (other than me) before the next 
revolution.  The next delivery will have you enjoying FL's Gulf coast 
and the next pick up, the Great State of NC.
