Hi Cindy
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. Our relationship with your dad begin in 2008 when he talked my wife out of buying a nudes Rhodes 22. He had good reasons and it was stands typical behavior that he would only sell a Rhodes 22 to the right buyer at the right time. Amazing person.
At some point in the future, would it be possible to get more information about Stan in Eldon‘s early days, growing up, learning to sail and their days in Brooklyn when they started their boat building business. Warmest regards
