I have keep this page at a
minimum since Ben Stavis has a full web site devoted to to the Rhodes Reliants and the
Offshore 40's. His site address is
http://nimbus.ocis.temple.edu/~bstavis/reliant.htm
Ben also has a well
written page on maintaining the Reliants at
http://nimbus.ocis.temple.edu/~bstavis/maint1.htm
And finally Ben has a
handbook and photo book for sale at
http://nimbus.ocis.temple.edu/~bstavis/form.htm
From Ben: To
assist the restoration side of your website, I am making our Rhodes Reliant - Offshore 40
Handbook of Restoration and Upgrades available for download off the web. It is
available at:
http://nimbus.ocis.temple.edu/~bstavis/documents.htm
The Handbook provides an extremely detailed discussion of a very wide range of restoration
issues, from keel bolts to masthead fittings, from stem fittings to exhaust pipes, and
just about everything in between. |
