[Rhodes22-list] instigator

[Bob Weber]

Rummy et all. Yes I have an 86.  Don't know about my Hull number.  It is 
attached to my transome which just got put in its slip for the year.  I 
spent the winter reading "racing" books and have a firm conclusion that the 
problem is with the indian not the arrows.  If you choose to, and were much 
smarter than I, you could really make rocket science out of this "sailing 
fast" stuff.  I can't wait to practice the few things that did get thru my 
thick skull.  Bob Weber
