[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22

[Bill Effros]

Nah, buy a Rhodes-22, spend a week in Edonton with Stan, and he'll teach you everything you need to know about sailing.  Take a few power squadron courses while Stan is building your boat, and live happily for the rest of your days.  Sailing is not incomprehensible like ...... sociology....it's elegant, like math or physics.  You can derive great satisfaction from it with only a simple understanding of the forces at play, and spend the rest of your life building on that foundation. Or you can just let the wind push you around while you watch the sun rise and set.  It's a lovely thing to do, and the R-22 is a wonderful thing to do it in.

That should get you started.

That said, I would take some local sailing course first, start with dingy and find a group keel boat courses, flow that up with some 
power squadron navigation courses. right now you got the "cart before the horse", learn to sail, figure out where you are going to 
sail then get a boat, all boat are compromises and should match your are and usage, people are be kind to you, no body in their 
right mind wants a ww19.
