[Rhodes22-list] thanks for replies

[daniel snyder]

Mary Lou,

I ran out to the bookstore and got a copy of Sailing Small....read chapter 5 
this afternoon.  I have a new Rhodes being built currently scheduled for May 
delivery here in NH in May...hopefully the ice is out by then.

I visited Stan in NC last week...still plenty of time for choices.  Like 
Ron, I have no experience with portable toilets, although I know pump out 
facilities are few to non existent on most of our major lakes here, except 
for Champlain and a few others.

I also was interested in your comments in Sailing Small with regards to the 
175 genoa.  I thought the Rhodes did well in light air but your comments 
suggest the thing tends to collapse on itself in the light stuff.  Works 
real well in the 10 to 12 range and is quickly too much in heavier air. 
Makes we wonder if I should ask Stan for something smaller.

Anyhow, I enjoyed every word in Chapter 5....after my visit in NC last week, 
I could easily relate your walkthrough of the boat to what I remembered. 
Thanks

Dan
New London, NH

p.s.  we moved here from the western suburbs of Philly.  Almost wish I still 
lived there after reading your comments about the Chesapeake.
