Saroj,
Truly a sad day when one must make the decision to sell their pride and  
joy. Good luck to you, wherever you end up. Don't be a total stranger. We 
still  accept non Rhodes people on the list. Keep us posted. You've been on the 
list a  long time and we would miss you terribly.

Rummy

It is  with great reluctance (I can barely type this email), that I've 
decided to  sell my Rhodes22 and trailer... been too busy with a house 
renovation to  sail.  My Mom passed away a few months ago; I'm wrapping up affairs 
here  in VA and preparing to go traveling and resettle "somewhere else"... 
I'll  regroup and figure out how much sailing I do once I get settled again (if 
 ever).

It is in the water at the moment in Hampton, VA... I just  ordered 2 new 
tires for the trailer which is a dual-axle trailer with a new  electronic 
brake setup and break-away brake; 2 new tires; new wiring harness  and lights.

I haven't yet decided on price nor whether to have  repairs done... I'm in 
communication with Stan to get estimates and  valuation.

If interested, contact me back-channel at  saroj at pathfind.net
