[Rhodes22-list] Optimal crew numbers.

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Optimal crew is dependent on the wind. 0 to 10 can easily be handled by one 
 or two. Anything above that I would recommend more rail meat (counter  
balance). Three can handle winds up to about twenty and anything above that  
requires four, a whole lot of rum and a galley wench.

Right:  the Washington Sailing Marina is across the WW bridge toward the  
airport.  National Harbor is an expensive new development, but they  have 
not been able to fill the marina.  All but five of the slips are  60-foot 
slips.  Lots of sailboats around and several clubs that  race.  We have a 
Regatta on the river in Sept. to benefit the  Leukemia/Lymphoma society 
and I have been thinking of entering my  Rhodes22, provided I can find 
some crew members who are interested..   My Genoa is 150 but the boat 
moves right along in a good wind.  I  will probably do some practice 
racing on the club flying scots in  advance.  What is the optimal crew 
size for racing the 22?
