Stan--So sorry to learn of your planned retirement. The inevitable, alas, is inevitable! But what a sail you've had, running before the wind and tacking into it. And also sorry for the long silence at this end, a long story which I'll tell you in an email or by phone. Greetings and fond wishes to ? and to you --P

You and your creation have inspired me and my wife Alice, to go where no Rhodes has gone before (at least in the way we did it).  Heck, I am negotiating shipping to Italy for my Rhodes as we speak. I think the Rhodes 22 should be known as the Stan 22 from now on. You have earned your rest, and the appreciation of the thousands of sailors that you and your boat have touched. Thank you Stan and Rose and Elton.  I am writing  this as I sit in a snug anchorage in the uninhabited island of Royal Island in the Bahamas.....a place I first visited in my first Rhodes 23 years ago. I never doubted the boat nor its creator. Thank you Stan.
