Ed,
 
Thanks for your input.  Re trailering, we expect some minimal  trailering, 
but not the full trailer sailor mode.  That is, we expect to  haul the boat out 
at the end of each season, so we'll need a trailer.   Also, when we relocate 
from northern Virginia, we'll need to trailer, but we  expect that will be it.  
I think there may be a lot to be said for trailer  sailing, we car-topped for 
a number of years, but the Rhodes 22 seems pretty big  and heavy to be 
hauling around.  I suspect I'd need a dedicated tow  vehicle, which amounts to one 
more headache and expense.  So to start,  we'll likely just sail.
 
Also, thanks for the Hartwell link on your message.  It looks like a  great 
place to live and to sail.
 
Dave
