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

[Wally Buck]

Hey Mark as long as your happy with your boat(s) that is what counts. When I 
bought my R22 I was really concerned I would not sail enough to justify the 
cost. Man was I ever wrong. Having a boat in a slip ready to go has 
increased my sailing time by 10X!
