A million thanks for getting that one boat to the show goes to multi Rhodes owner John McLaughlin who gave up time from his own business to make that happen.   And equal thanks to long time owner Michael Corley who managed retrieving the show boat from the show in spite of the wood ramp the show had built to our exhibit area, collapsing under the weight of superior built Rhodes.  Thanks also to Bill Wickman and Chris Geankoplis who came to tell prospects of their world travels in their Rhodes plus steadied the wobbly legs of the old man of the sea whenever I tried walking on land.

Your boat remains fully rigged ready to sail any day, any hour and you are under way in minutes.
