Mary Lou,

It took me 30 years of sailing to move up from 14 - 19 foot day sailors to 
the R22. It was the right move for me as it finally got my wife in a dry 
boat. :-). For the type of cruising we do (up and down the river) it suits 
me fine. I sail more than anyone else at my marina and that is the way I 
want to keep it.

I will admit to being too lazy to maintain a larger boat, my home, and my 
marriage. I could handle taking care of two of the three but something would 
have to give. :-)

The R22 meets all of my current needs.  Some day this may change and this is 
why I still look at the various web listings.

Wally
