[Rhodes22-list] Please help

[Ron Singerman]

Last year at the All Sail Boat show in St Petersburg Art was nice enough to 
take my wife and I out for a demo sail.  I had already made the trip to 
Edenton and had sailed with stan but the sail with Art convinced my wife 
that, after owning  several boats, the Rhodes-22 was the one for her. 
Having the Admiral on the same page as myself made the purchase of Serenity 
much more pleasant.

Fair winds and following seas,

>>Hello Simon,
>>It sounds like you and I are on similar paths. I have been reading about 
>>the
>>Rhodes 22 also.
>>My wife and I raced our Hobie 16 catamaran with division 12 in the Hobie
>>fleet for 11 years and now have a 17' Boston Whaler. I think I will sell 
>>the
>>catamaran because she no longer has the desire to get suited up for that
>>type of sailing. We have however tried monhulls and now crew for a guy at
>>the Hyannis Yacht Club and sail on a Sabre 38. I found I just plain enjoy
>>sailing, does not necessarily have to be a catamaran. This lead me to look
>>into pocket cruisers that I can trailer to either the lake or the ocean. 
>>Of
>>all I have read the Rhodes seems like a good fit, but I also would like to
>>go sailing on one before I buy. I contacted General Boats and am thinking
>>about going to the Annapolis boat show and arrange for a demo sail at the
>>show. Then if I like it look into buying one from General Boats either
>>Refurbished or perhaps what they call a project boat, or perhaps even used
>>from a private party.
>>Please let me know if you have any results as far as finding someone local
>>to sail with for a try out. I would love to either go along with you or
>>arrange a tryout sail. If we can find enough locally perhaps we can do 
>>some
>>racing!
