[Rhodes22-list] Researching the Rhodes 22 Archives

[Robert and Sandra Fuller]

Phyllis,
 I "sorta" got replies.  Think I would have done better had I posted each 
question separately with a clear subject heading.
I was redirected to the archives of this discussion list and I gather it is 
pretty much the only exclusive Rhodes forum.  What I was really after was a 
more convenient way of researching rather than more data; but from Mary 
Lou's instructions, these archives do not appear electronically searchable. 
She did direct me as well to Sailboatowners.com, which does feature 
electronic search.  As well, at Sailnet (under resources, message board, 
search), I found an old, miniscule, unflattering review of the Rhodes. Not 
much help there.
Bob
