[Rhodes22-list] RE: Exit Lines - R22 Alternatives

[Roland.John]

To all,  thanks for advice and tips.  A couple were a bit off the mark.  =
I wanted SITTING not standing headroom.  I do want to stay in the =
trailer sailor class and consider the R22 to be about the largest =
(heaviest) boat of interest, I just wanted a higher roof.    John

Dick,  if you are a Flicka fan you might enjoy reading Jobst Vandry's =
page sometime.  He started looking for a trailerable cruiser with the =
ultimate desire for a Flicka.  I've found his documentation of THE =
SEARCH very useful in my own search and his comments entertaining as =
well.  He bought a COM-PAC 19 as a trailerable and later upgraded to a =
Flicka.  Unfortunately, he lost the Flicka in a hurricane before he had =
time for much sailing.

Michael, Dana 24 is also a nice boat but too heavy for my notion of a =
trailerable.  John
