[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 dimensions

[Bill Effros]

Dan,

The funny thing is that from the cockpit you are never quite sure you are
going to make it until you are actually under it.  I've sailed in a Rhodes
under the George Washington Bridge.  From a distance you say ... "I'm not
sure..."

I trust charts.

When in doubt, let a larger boat precede you.

If you sail in an area where there are charts available, all clearances over
a
waterway should be on those charts. Cruising and waterway guides can also be
useful. If you are unsure ask around, local knowledge can be helpful as well
but doublecheck against your charts. Don't mess with powerlines - make sure
there is a lot of clearance. If you will be ramp launching, remember to
check
for overhead obstructions like powerlines and tree limbs for the path
between
the spot where you raise the mast and the ramp.
