Rummy - I'm shivering in Southfield, Michigan - a suburb of Detroit. 
There isn't ANYBODY sailing up here now!

I've been involved in small sailboats most of my life (57 years) - but 
mostly day sailing and  just "messing about."  Sarted with a homebuilt 
8' pram - currently have a Newport 16 (cuddy cabin, keel). Nice sailor, 
but I'd like to start coasting the Great Lakes with my kids (daughter, 
12 - son, 7). I want something I can singlehand but large enough for 
the three of us. The Rhodes seems ideal; besides, its just a bit 
different from all those look-a-likes on the water, which appeals to 
me. My only other thought is to build one of Phil Bolger's smaller 
cruisers, but I'd rather sail than build....
