[Rhodes22-list] Running aground

[Chris Geankoplis]

Funny, let's look for other current events parallels and connections with
the Rhodes.  "Unlike the stock market, the Rhodes has positive foam
flotation and is unsinkable".

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."
