[Rhodes22-list] Running aground

[Gregg MacMillan]

Apparently freighters don't come with diamond boards…

"Because ballast in the Rhodes is in the fixed part of its fin, and because there are no troublesome winches and handles, and because the Diamondboard freely pivots up when striking anything, instead of bringing the keel assembly to a shocking halt (as movable ballast systems or fixed keels or dagger boards do), the Rhodes combination keel/diamondboard is remarkably carefree."
