[Rhodes22-list] Cape Cod Fred

[Kroposki]

Fred:

      Sounds like you would use the boat like I do.  It usually just me
and my wife sailing.  We bring some drinks and sandwiches.  I have had 5
in the boat, but that is the exception.

      I sail in South Carolina on Rummy's Lake aka Lake Hartwell.  See:

http://www.sas.usace.army.mil/lakes/hartwell/

And I keep my boat at Big Water Marina on the South End of the Lake.
See:

      The cockpit is reason enough to get the Rhodes 22.  The seats are
long enough to stretch out and go to sleep (zzzzzz).  Or to sit 3 on the
upwind side.  If you get a furling foresail and the IMF, it has to one
of the easiest boats to sail.  To me those two features allow for fast
sail use and adjustment.  But if you want to race, then conventional
sails are probably more effective.

      This list is not controlled by General Boats nor any specific
company.  Many of the comments don't relate to sailing.  Do not be
fooled, the posts are coming from folks who own and sail the R22.  So
ask any question.

Fred:

      There are other 'Fred's" on the list.  Most on this list are

owners of R22's, but there are several owners of 19's and other Rhodes

designs.  I expect others will reply to your inquiry over the next days

and weeks.

      Since we moved onto this list, the site keeper, Michael Meltzer,

has kept an archive of old emails.  So one thing for you to do is peruse

the old emails.  Unfortunately, people change subjects without changing

the subject line very often.  So, don't rely on the subject line.

      Also, there is a related WEB site by Tom Evans which maintains a

history of frequently asked questions (FAQ):

Keep in mind Tom just copied what people have written over the years.

You might help us better respond to your questions by telling us where

you are and where you plan to sail.  There are folks who monitor this

list from Oregon to Florida to Texas to Maine.....
