[Rhodes22-list] IMF

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

George,

I easily prefer Stan's 22' to a larger boat, and have overcome the 'size' phobia via the boom room.  I worked on the boat yesterday (simple cross boards -1x8 primed white; perfect and inexpensive for the cockpit air matress) though a mite cold outside.  I zipped on my sunbrella sides in place of the rip-stop - top is always up - and it was snug.  I have used my Black Cat on some really cold days, but not necessary yesterday.  That may sound like a brazen BR pitch, but I'm not in a marketing mood, just practical.  I've never had so much enjoyable cold wx boat time before this year.
