Thanks Rik. I just read through the very long 'Review' page of the
website... this boat sounds too good to be true!
I'm particularly intrigued by what is referred to (pardon me as I'm not
totally up on all current sailing lingo so I'll do my best) as the
combination of both a fixed keel, as well as the centerboard. Seems
like the best of both worlds. Trailerable, but good ballast. They
claim it is (I think I read this somewhere) unsinkable and uncapsizeable
due to the ballast of this. Is that true of the older models as well?
Given that this is my first step into the world of sailing a bigger boat
than a sunfish, that sounds wonderfully reassuring. I know that caution
is always a good idea, but to know that the boat is healthy is a good
thing.
Do the older boats have many of the same features of the newer ones...
i.e. easy to mount mast, good stability, etc? I recognize that I need
to do some sprucing up of the woodwork and pretty goodies in the cabin
area, but that's the fun details that can be handled later... safety and
a solid boat are far more important to me at this point.
Heck - I look forward just to having it sitting in my driveway this
winter, and sitting out on a warmer winter's day with a book in the
cockpit and dreaming about what it will be like next summer!!!!! I'm
afraid to say I'm smitten by this boat!!!

Hello everyone...</dd>
<br>
<dd>
I'm new to this list, as I am just now contemplating purchase of a boat...
in particular , an oldie but goodie Rhodes continental 22', circa 1974-1976.
Anybody out there who has one who can give me their opinion on the boat,
what I should look for in/on it before purchase, and approx. value?
I've seen it on trailer... though the inside of the cabin looks a bit tired
and in need of refreshing, the boat itself and the riggins seem to be in
fine shape.</dd>
<br>
<dd>
I live on Cape Cod (Buzzards Bay side - more protected)... have sailed
a Sunfish all of my life... and am just now entertaining getting into a
'real boat'. Not looking to race or do longdistance type stuff...
just go out for the day and putter.</dd>
<br>
<dd>
Thoughts?</dd>
