[Rhodes22-list] Two replies to Chet

[Chet Orton]

Ed,

Hmmmm... Well, it's an R22 named Ruba. Is it the fact that they're training in an R22 that's significant or is the name "Ruba" significant?
They do make some very complimentary comments about the boat's characteristics.

Chet:

     Lee said "The Annapolis Book of Seamanship by John Rousmaniere.  Has
nothing to do with Annapolis".  Except that he was on the faculty there. 
Art, isn't that the guy who taught you?

      Chet you are relatively new hereabouts.  Use this URL to learn
something interesting:

       Look closely at the pictured sailboat and read the label.
