Message-ID: Fellow Rhodes 22 clan members, especially ye who own or have seen a boom room with your own eyes, does the attached photo show parts to a Boom Room? We've never seen one beyond a picture lacking much detail, but we want one, and if this is part of one, we hope to start with it and complete our own. If you own a boom room, pictures and other details would be a tremendous help! (If you have one you would like to sell, that's even better.) May you all have a wonderful start to the 2026 sailing season once Puxatawny Phil's six weeks are past, Paul and Nancy Rhodes SV New Mercies -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Does anyone know where I might purchase one or if there are plans anywhere that might guide me in building one? I have seen a number of similar systems on-line but I'd like to have the correct dimensions for the Rhodes 22 if I take it upon myself to construct one. Thanks for your help in advance.
