I second that, they will work great for your skill level, after a few years than think about upgrading the head sail or getting a
UPS.

Uh, oh.

Here we go again.

I've got work to do, so I can't address this now.

Short answer -- get the 175 genny with IMF main.  That is the conventional rig for current generation of R-22s.  It is also the
simplest and easiest to use sail plan I have ever seen.  It is ideal for beginners.  As you develop more skills, you can deploy the
sails in ever more sophisticated ways.  If you want to.  Or not.

Thanks for the great replies!  I enjoyed the reading.  One more question: I would describe myself as an "intermediate" in terms of
skill. Would it make sense to set up the Rhodes with a conventional rig, i.e. non-IMF main and a smaller geneoa to build up my
skills until switching to the IMF/175 rig?

Also, is the "conventional" rig faster than the IMF/175?

Thanks again.
