qestion and RE: [Rhodes22-list] Just a thought.

	No sails....being fixed, upgraded with super sliders, etc.  Will
know more after the 4th..., but Meade Breese (what a name for a sailmaker!)
took vacation, other things to fix for the insurance anyway.

	My current preference is a Gozzard 36 (<g>).  It's big enough to
sleep 2 plus a big, clumsy sheepdog.  More maintenance, but Air Conditiong
during this summer in the Chesapeake should make it more attractive.  Any
time spent on water messing around on a boat is time to be treasured,
sailing or not.

I'm with Mark on this. I'd hate to have to subscribe to 5 or 6 different 
lists to find out what my buds, the former Rhodies are up to. The Seaward 
RK 26 appears to be a logical move up from an R22, though it appears that 
36 & 37 footers are currently popular.

So here's a question for all the Rhodies out there, if you were to move up 
(over or down) - what would your next boat be and why? One of the main 
reasons we've stayed small is the ease of maintenance. We like having a 
boat on the Chesapeake that we can haul home for the winter. We've talked 
about retiring down near the Bay and that has brought consideration of a 
bigger boat. Right now I've been looking at Tartan 28s. Supposedly good 
sailing, Sparkman & Stevens design, nice deck layout (with the exception of 
the bridgedeck traveller which would take some getting used to), good 
cockpit, good engine access, good interior layout and some are even 
available tiller-steered. Seems like a nice boat for a couple who still 
would want to do a lot of daysailing but might want to take off on longer 
trips.

Anyone else want to take a stab at this?
