[Rhodes22-list] To Rick Evans (and anybody else who wants to know)

[Mary Lou Troy]

Another good strategy is to hang out near the R22. Most of us who own R22s 
and who will be at Annapolis will come by the booth at some point. We are 
planning to be there Saturday. The Good Old Boat article, the new Small 
Craft Advisor article talk about how owners feel about their R22s. My 
chapter in the book "Sailing Small" says a lot about how I feel about my 
boat. If you want info about pointing, boat handling and sailing 
characteristics you should get your chance at Annapolis. see the forecast 
below.
