[Rhodes22-list] HR 27 picture of shell

[TN Rhodey]

You guys are correct...it seems quite a few of us solo..what attracted me to 
the R22 was the Rhodes name and the IMF. I had faith in anything Rhodes 
would put his name on. The IMF works well...I wonder if same design woudl 
scale up? IMF with jib furler makes it simple to single hand. A 27 footer 
can be single handed as well but without IMF it is more work. Big sails can 
get heavy especially on a cold wet windy day. I love not having to mess with 
sails covers and no sail bags taking up storage space.

I realize you couldn't call this a "Rhodes" but GB has a great rep in the 
industry. It will be interesting to see how things proceed. Many challenges.
