[Rhodes22-list] Crusier not a racer? Let's fix this ! Introducing the R22 2.0

[Goodness]

Forget all of that arch, stay bit and keel step the carbon fiber mast, unstayed and use a full roach full batten mainsail and a screecher.  For downwind use a parafoil gennaker.  Forget torqueedo and use a custom ballasted electric trolling auxillary with folding prop mounted to the bottom of diamondboard to close the slot.
