[Rhodes22-list] Commissioning

[TN Rhodey]

Dan,

The R22 is easier to launch and retreive than most 20 - 25 foot sail boats. 
If you have launched sail boats of this size previously the R22 will be a 
snap. There are a few steps but they are the same every time. Checklists are 
quite helpful. If you have IMF the GB Mast Hoist makes things quite easy One 
person taking their time can do every thing safely. The keel guide on the 
trailer helps line everything up and keeps the boat centered. The hardest 
part for some is getting the boat back on the trailer in the right position.
