Does anyone else's boat makes a gurgling sound by the transom or rudder
when under sail and moving. Is this sound normal for a Rhodes22 moving
briskly under sail. Or do I just have a gurgling boat?

Ed,
Nice of you to try. Can't win them all. I always feel badly when
someone
decides against a Rhodes for the wrong reason - for their sake, not ours
-
it is just such a great boat, even if I have to agree with you all.
(see,
a few years ago that would have been "all of you".)
