[Rhodes22-list] Da List

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I agree — and thanks, too, to David Craft for the Facebook page.  I am new to the list, and new to Rhodes.  I have recently acquired a 1985 Rhodes 22, refurbished at General Boats around 2001, which is now in a slip at Lake Keowee, South Carolina.  I’ve sailed it only once — can’t wait to do so again!

I’m sure I’ll be pestering the list with questions eventually.  Seems to be a great design for a boat.
