[Rhodes22-list] New Rodes Owner

[Frazier Scott]

I plan to have my new rhodes 22 this spring.  I will be sailing on Long Island Sound.  I will add a VHF radio and a compass but wonder what else by way of navigation equipment I should have.  A GPS seems to be advisable, but is it necessary?  What type of compass is best and where should it be mounted?
  Any advice is helpful.  (Rummy, I expect to stock Mount Gay, so I have that covered).
  Thanks,
