[Rhodes22-list] (no subject)

[Rik Sandberg]

Wally,

No, I haven't sailed a Flicka before. Jeez I wouldn't want to go into these
things knowing what the heck I was doing........what fun would that be???
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'd say your assessment of the sailing characteristics is probably pretty
close. She is pretty heavy after all. I expect I'll still have to get one of
those UPS sails (or similar) we were talking about a while back, for the
lighter days.
