[Rhodes22-list] Newbie here

[peter beckerman]

Hello All,    I'm new to Rhodes22.org and wanted to introduce myself and ask a couple of questions.   First off:  Hello.  I'm Peter Beckerman, a somewhat novice sailor and wannabe Rhodes 22 owner.  I have been looking at boats and saw one yesterday that I'm thinking about.  One problem with the boat is that one of the opening port lights has a broken latch.  It  took a hit (maybe when stowing the table top?) and the plastic that holds the screw sheered so that one half of the port cannot be screwed down and it leaks.  I don't see a replacement port light listed in the General Boats parts list, and was wondering if anyone knows where to go for a replacement and about what that might cost?  Also, is there an option for windows mounted flush to the outside?  Just looking at the design it seems like, since these windows are mounted at an angle, water would collect by the window seals and drip inside when the ports are opened.  Perhaps this isn't a problem in practice, but it looks like it would be.   Also the trailer does not have a spare tire which I'd like to get.  Are these a standard trailer tire?  (I know nothing about trailers)  Is it easy enough to get a used rim?  Anyone have a source for spare wheel?   Lastly I spoke with one seller who has a Rhodes with no trailer. Anyone have a decent trailer they are looking to sell?
Thanks 
      Peter
