[Rhodes22-list] smaller is better

[Peter Thorn]

Richard,

I wholeheartedly agree.  The smallest boat that will do the job is best!
Corollary: The bigger the boat, the less often it is sailed. We are moving
up to a Rhodes only because the 19 Starwind just wouldn't do it for us for
more than one night.

Why not add a hiking strap to keep you on the windward bench?  Perhaps Stan
or Roger would apply their engineering talents to this problem.
