Peter,
How are you going to use the boat? Are you going to trailer, rig and 
launch every time? Are you going to spend a lot of time below decks? 
How do you feel about maintenance issues and ongoing costs (the more 
and the more complex the systems, the more time and money you spend 
fixing them). I wouldn't imagine that the 5 inches difference in 
draft makes much difference launching and retrieving a boat. With the 
General mast raising system setting up a Rhodes 22 is easy but 
time-consuming. I think the folks that trailer a lot have it down to 
about 40 minutes. It takes us longer because we only set it up or 
take it down once a year and there is a lot of checking to make sure 
that we have it right. I don't know about the Seawards as far as set up.

Lee, Sorry we missed you!

Best,
Mary Lou
1991 R22 Fretless
