[Rhodes22-list] cons of rhodes 22

[Brad Haslett]

Philip,

No, S2 (Tiara) is another great choice.  They made a 22' foot boat that
kicked ass on the racing circuit. Their gelcoat quality is legendary. The
9.2 S2 center cockpit (my boat) gives the most room of any 30 footer ever
built at the expense of being ugly.  Leon Slicker, (S2 builder) is a
'Stanish" kind of guy but on a larger scale (boat numbers wise).

But....they have the dullest e-mail list in the history of sailboats.

'Bigger is better' is only a state of mind.  There are so many days that I
long for the smaller boat.  If you want a 22 footer, the search is over.
