Any news or Pictures Re: boat show

[Alan Robertson-2]

Many thanks for the report Mary Lou! Glad to hear that "OF's" like Stan and me are still going strong with the RC, and hope that the larger show space will bring oui Edenton Friends a lot of orders. We bought ours as a result of visiting the 1983 Annapolis Show.

Alan,

Don't you expect just a few of us may explore an upgrade.  A new R22 would last many generations, based on the excellent longevity of the 70's models.  The new ones have synthetic versus wood stringers as one example.  Your or my grandchildren will still be passing the Rhodes legacy to their own grandchildren.  Your new boat should be christened "S/V Alan".  

I don 't think any boat will be available then with the quality we know - they'll probably be trying experiments with inflatables.  Seriously, any of us with thoughts of this have a timeline to consider.

Chris,

Hopefully you got a good 'thank you' for your service to the fleet and GB.  While fun, the demo role is demanding and your witness as a live volunteer skipper had to send a strong message to the prospects.  I'm glad you were involved this year and thanks from all of us!  Bravo Zulu...

A bunch of us should slum it to Annapolis next year and stage a regatta sometime around show time, maybe Thursday.  We could show some of the VIPs how to have fun again.  I really wish my brake adventure could have occurred at some other time and I had been there this time.

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Chris,

You should see the show setup as a marvel of organization.  Allison and I watched the mass of docks towed in, in rather short order, to create the 'Show City'.  It was very impressive.  They had more time for the first show setup than for the second, considering a breakdown regimen they will enforce tommorrow evening.  

Important to consider - if possible, you or anyone who can hang around should put a priority on helping Stan and Elton unrig the boats for the road.  After a five day show, I know from the experience of two shows that this task seems endless, and this year there are three shoreside boats to contend with.

Have good sailing tommorrow, Skipper.

I bought a concentrate at Ace Hardware along with some generic bleach at Publix.  I use a handheld tank sprayer - mine is only a gallon but I fill it and leave it in the lazarette.

Having the opportunity to help a worthy cause is thanks enough however  
I know it is appreciated.  I do plan to stay overnight on the boat in  
Annapolis Monday night so I can help de rig the boats and sit back and  
watch how a boat show in assembles itself.  I have been told it is  
quite a sight.

Mary Lou,

Thanks for the show news, I just wish I could have been there to see that impressive display and have lunch with you all.  I hope that the bigger show presence pays off for GB. 

It is a little rainy here, on and off.  I remember the gales of shows past.  Hope the rest of the show goes well.  Thanks again for a so thorough review.

We did. They were side by side. The gentleman who runs the booth said
the Lobster may even be outselling the crab. Maybe because everybody

Rummy:  Lowe's carries the Jomax.  Home Depot probably carries it as well.  Works really well on most stuff.  I have not used it on the boat but I have used it on the house, deck, and patio with great results.

Thanks for the recommendation, Bob.  Your  impression after having your

Finally able to stop by the boat show Monday afternoon.  Was fortunate to see Elton and Stan and their high-paid salesmen Mac and Chris.  The Rhodes display never looked more impressive!

Each year I walk around looking for my next boat.  It's funny how I once thought the Rhodes to be overpriced.  Now I look at less expensive boats and they're just not comparable.  More expensive boats only seem to be bigger and have just as many negative differences as positives.  If I were to win the lottery I still think I'd have to keep a Rhodes to park along side my other yachts.

Although I must admit this little baby caught my eye:

Hank,

...and that bulb keel would be fun to dig out everytime you went aground.  No seatbacks, standing headroom, or furling main.  Very few cruising amenities and none of the Rhodes bells and whistles. Most important, you could buy a small fleet of Rhodes for the price of one Sensei.  You can't trailer it to the plant in Turkey and I couldn't afford to pay someone to maintain all that teak covering the deck and cockpit.  But then I guess you don't buy a Ferrari for its comfort and practicality.

Although Stan would never put a cheap looking contraption like that boom kicker/vang set-up on one of his boats!  I mentioned that to the builder but he didn't seem very appreciative.

Wanted to second Bob's recommendation on Jomax.  I had pulled Getaway on Sunday and got her to the storage place late that afternoon and didn't have time to clean her that day.  I like to pressure wash the boat right after pulling so that the bottom slime doesn't dry out but didn't have time.  The Jomax solution worked great on the mildew and the boat looks better than it ever has.  I expect the 40% bleach in the mix had a lot to do with the mildew removal, but I'll take it.  It also worked well to remove the (now dried) slime from the boat bottom.  The bottom slime just cleaned right off when soaked with the Jomax and then pressure washed. Now it didn't do anything for scuffs, have to try something else for those. - rob

My daughter's boyfriend (future son-in-law?) told me to try Jomax which he used to clean the fancy houses at the Ford Plantation in Richmond Hill.  I bought a small container of the concentrate, mixed it with bleach as per the instructions and used the same tank sprayer to apply it to the sailboat.  The boat was a huge mess since it sat in the boat yard uncovered from May until September.  

 

I sprayed the stuff on the dry surface of the boat and let it sit for a while and had the sponge and bucket ready.  It was amazing - all the dirt and mildew came off on its own - all I had to do was rinse.  Did not have to pick up a sponge and I called Sheila to show her how clean the boat looked.  She was amazed.  I am really glad to have found this because when I keep the boat in the water at the Shrimp Docks it gets filthy and I have had no easy way to clean it.  This Jomax cleaned spots where I had not been able to reach before and it sparkled.  

 

No, I am not trying to sell Jomax - this is not an infomercial.  I am just sharing what I consider an amazing new finding in how to clean your boat without much effort.

 

After the Jomax treatment, I gave it a quick Woody Wax treatment and I am ready for the next trip next week:  will it be Punta Gorda, Gulfport, Hartwell or Hilton Head?  Not sure yet - it is weather dependent, but will let you know.
