Part with Tehani
She-s a 1961 Rhodes Meridian 25, hull #10. built in Holland
Has some relatively minor damage from a hurricane but nothing major. She's in a slip in Port Lavaca, Texas
I'm asking for exaclly what I gave for her- come get her
I do have a tandem axle trailer fitted to the boat, whch I plan to ask $300 for.
Get in touch if you are interested.
darn/wow/holy smokes... "soul searching", I'm sure there has been plenty of that, CJ...
Amazingly kind of you to be so generous; here's wishing Tehani a new owner who will show her at least half as much care and love as you have.
Thanks Kurt- it was a really tough decision. Been a lot of miles in her
CJ - I'm going to contact the Gtown Maritime Museum about this. They have had a fleet of Optis now for several years, teaching young kids, and just got a few centerboard FRP boats a couple years ago. Maybe Tehani could find a home with them; she'd be very well kept, and introduce young 'uns to the beauty of classic keel boats. Might be a good fit.

I’m disturbed to hear your diiciision, but understand…
I’ve spent a lot of time this winter with David, a 91 year old former boater.
He talked of how he reflects on his life as “chapters†…
And how as one ends, another begins…
Hopefully both you and your beautiful boat enjoy wonderful new chapters!
I have always respected your options and comments…
They were never from “readingâ€, but were from both being “out there†and doing that! You are such an asset here and I recommend any new (and several older) members to look back on your posts! A treasure trove of knowledge!
CJ
Hope you find a good “fit†for your boat!
You’ve both served each other well…
Best wishes my friend
Thank you frank. I appreciate that.
