[Rhodes22-list] Newbie question 1

[stan]

Matt,

We were anxiously awaiting your take on the Certified category Rhodes 
recently delivered to you since we put so much more into your boat than 
is normally done for a purchase in this class. Not a peep. Instead we 
have been bypassed with 15 reports to the List numbered 1. and 2. so 
far, seemingly suggesting more to follow; neither with a word of 
satisfaction, only your annoying issues.

The List is a treasure and the right place to go for private purchases 
of used Rhodes where we do not know the condition of the boat or 
alterations made, by prior owners.  In contrast, a direct purchase from 
General Boats where we know that boat first hand and the List does not, 
GB becomes the more logical source for addressing initial questions.

Mentioning two of GB's policies is appropriate here:
One is that you made your purchase appreciating that you could take 
advantage of GB's two year window to turn the boat in for a recycled 
category Rhodes where the original boat's price is applied to the new 
recycled Rhodes.
The other you may not be tuned into is our quip that if anyone 
purchasing a Rhodes from General Boast says anything negative about his 
or her boat, we take it away from them. The practical translation of 
this is that if you are not completely comfortable with your purchase we 
will return your deposit and take the boat back without prejudice.

Not affecting any of the above, I have two curiosity questions:  I 
thought we sent you 'Tips on Rigging and Sailing Your Rhodes 22', or am 
I mistaken.
The other, weren't there any features that surprised and pleased you on 
this boat.
