[Rhodes22-list] Rhodies Essential Library

[Bill Effros]

Learn to comb the archives of this list.

The Rhodes 22 is a unique sailboat in that it is both safe and easy to 
sail initially, and technically sophisticated so you can continually 
learn to sail it better.

Much of what you will read in sailing books does not apply to this boat.

We have discussed, at the same length and with the same passion as 
political discussions:

How to Rig the Boat
Trailering Tips
Heaving To
Anchoring
Safety
Coming About
Balancing the Boat
How to Get More Speed
How to Use the Traveler
How to Launch
How to Retrieve
Electronics
etc.
etc.

There must be enough material on-line to fill many books.

Let me say again, that much of what you will read in books written for 
the general sailing public does not apply to this boat.

Bring em On!

> One way or another, I will soon have an older Rhodes 22. I have very little sailing experience. I'm a pretty technical and handy guy. I'm currently reading "Sailing for Dummies". I'd like to assemble a small library of essential reading material. I don't have much interest in sailing stories. What I am interested in is "how-to" and reference materials on subjects like sailing skills, navigation, boat maintenance and repair, etc. So, I'm soliciting input from the group. What books would you nominate? Thanks.
