[Rhodes22-list] Demo sail possible in NW lower Michigan?

The R22 will be slower than your Mac but I'm willing to bet you will 
enjoy sailing it just as much, maybe more. Everything on the R22 is 
designed to make it easy and safe to sail. It has the most comfortable 
cockpit of any sailboat I've ever been in. The use of space in the cabin 
makes it easy to use daysailing or cruising.

Best wishes,

Mary Lou
ex Rhodes 22
now Rosborough RF-246
