Paul,

Make a full size ice sculpture of a Rhodes-22 and sail north!  How far 
do you think you could get?

The Rhodes-22 is the Rolls Royce of the class of boats you like to 
sail.  It is both extremely comfortable, and a lot of fun to sail.

You can sail an R-22 within minutes of getting on board, and you can 
continue to learn to sail it better for the rest of your life.  It's a 
well made boat, better made than most boats costing 10 times as much.  
It is beautifully engineered, and is full of features we all simply take 
for granted--until we go aboard other boats and are shocked that they 
are missing almost all of these features.

If I were you, from your description of yourself, I would start looking 
for one to buy right now.  Either from Stan, or on the open market.  In 
the process of looking you will hook up with people for rides, and to 
sail the boat.  If it's not for you, you will know right away.  But if 
you like what you see you won't be able to get one quickly enough.  
There's really nothing else like it in the world.
