  All
  I have had a prospective buyer looking at the boat and he intends to do a fair bit of sailing in 20 kt winds. 
  He is concerned about the ability of the boat to deal with these stresses. While I realize (and so does he) that a large part of this equation is dealing with the soundness of a particular boat. My question for the group (especially the part of you that sail in 20 kt winds regular, personally, I am not that brave) is "How well does a Rhodes hold up to these strresses? and Do you believe that Stan's construction standards offer an advantage for this kind of sailing?"
   
  All comments welcome
   
  Charles
