[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22

[Bob and Kathy Quinn]

Cathy:  A great boat and a great recreational investment.  We had our first R22 for over 11 years and recovered  90% of our initial outlay.  We did spend money keeping the boat in great shape.  Invested in new sails and replaced other gear as necessary.  We found the boat to more than meet our expectations.   Our two kids (near adults) when we picked up the boat and two of our grandchildren pretty much learned to sail on the R22.    Stan at General Boats will work with you on a re-cycled boat where you cannot go wrong.

We moved to a larger cruising boat for five years after retirement and are now back on an R22.  Having a ball sailing in shallow Florida waters. 

Bob

We lost our Gulf Coast 23 to a marauding tree during Hurricane Ike and have
looked (fruitlessly) for a replacement since. Apparently the GC 23s weren't
well built and haven't held up through time. 

We haven't seen a Rhodes 22 in the flesh but it looks as though it has the
amenities we consider non-negotiable; enclosed head, shallow draft and
sleeping quarters for three small people.

We're on the Texas Gulf Coast and we sail bays and bayous. Think 2'-3' deep
water, miles wide. 

My husband is having sticker shock. Please tell me good things about the
Rhodes 22.

Cathy
