[Rhodes22-list] looking for suggestions for my new Rhodes 22

[Bob Weber]

Dan, it really depends on where you plan to sail.  If you are going to do 
some coastal navigation and depth meter and compass are recommended.  I have 
hand held compass, anemometer, knotmeter (GPS).  I have a fish finder that I 
installed for depth and fish info but I do no navigation.  I installed a 
good compass in a wash board which slides in the companionway but I have 
never spun it.  Handhelds have a lot of appeal as far as ease, reliabiltiy, 
and replaceabliity.  I did have Stan install a VHF antenna at the mast head 
(it is a pain in the ass to run the coax down the mast)  Remember KISS - 
especailly on a small boat.  Bob Weber
