[Rhodes22-list] HOW DO YOU SAIL SINGLEHANDED?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Smooth water makes a tremendous difference. We rarely get it on the 
weekends on the Chesapeake but sometimes find it midweek.

BTW, we don't sail with the poptop up if there are other boats 
around. Every now and then we end up crossing huge wakes with water 
over the bow and maybe even across the cabin top. It's that maybe 
that we're trying avoid.

We've also discovered that having the bimini up in much more than 12 
knots affects the way the boat handles.
