[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a old style Rhodes 22 Rudder

[Bob Garrant]

Hi Meng,
Yes, I stopped by Anchors & Oars ('shipyard') to get winch covers but they
didn't have them.

I looked for the Rhodes 22 rudders but they had reorganized so I couldn't
find them. They don't keep an inventory list so it does require a walk
around their salvage yard. The lady did not think they had sold any Rhodes
22 rudders in the past year so she does suspect that they still have them.
She said that Josh might have some ideas about where the Rhodes 22 rudders
might have been relocated.

I started looking but after a rudder slipped and hit me in the head I
abruptly stopped looking ... after chuckling a bit. Definitely reminded me
of wandering through car junkyards back in the 70s and early 80s to find
car parts.

Wind looks favorable for Friday on the lower Chester River. Hoping to sail
on the river and possibly the Chesapeake Bay then.
