>>You can find most of what you want at the owners site.... 
>>http://www.rhodes22.org/  Why don't you read through all the material 
>>there and then see what questions you still have?  I don't have IMF so I 
>>don't "miss" having it... its convenient, but you do lose something at the 
>>same time.  I'm not sure you can install a boom vang on an IMF and the 
>>sail shape is necessarily flat.

>>I do have a furled head sail (CDI) which for me is essential.  My head 
>>sail is a 135 genoa which I find quite adequate, but the Rhodes22 can 
>>carry up to a 175.  The head is another option to consider... I like to 
>>KISS so after my portapotti broke, I decided to simply use a 5-gallon 
>>bucket with bags and a toilet seat... no moving parts... nothing to pump

>>As you probably know by now, these boats were designed specifically for
