[Rhodes22-list] IMF "Reefing"

[George Carpenter]

Thank you, Ron...It sounds do able and not as overwhelming as I first  
imagined. All of my first 50 years of sailing was on 16-20'  inland  
racing dinghies (scows) and these BIG boats are still somewhat  
intimidating (sorry, Stan, I guess I'm not ready for a 27'...but I do  
love my 22!!!).

	George
