John,
If no other Rhodies answer your request, I'm located on Lake Hartwell,
about 100 miles down Interstate 85 from Charlotte outside Anderson, SC.

Dear all Rhodies,
My wife and I are going to be in Charlotte NC in June to visit family. We
are very interested in the Rhodes 22 and would like to know if anyone in or
near charlotte has a Rhodes that we could look at and talk to you about
your experience with the boat. 2 years ago we did go to Edenton NC and met
personally with Stan at the factory, and he was gracious enough to take us on
his Rhodes for a little sail.
Ever since then, we have been dreaming about moving to NC and buying a
Rhodes. Hopefully our dreams will come true in about a year. We would like to
talk to someone about what they like and don't like about the Rhodes.
Also if someone lives near Lake Norman, Badin, High Rock, or Tillery, we
would love to hear from you about your experiences on the lakes in the area
and get a feel for where we may want to retire to.
Landlocked in Colorado Springs, CO
