[Rhodes22-list] Introduction-soon to be new old Rhodes owner

[William McCready Jr.]

Just wanted to intoduce myself and to say that I have put a deposit on a 1990 R-22 that will be ready mid to late July. After windsurfing for 20+ years I have decided to learn to sail  sitting down and through some undue influence from a friend, Chris G., I have decided a Rhodes is the boat for me. I feel priviledged to own (soon) one of these boats. So I have a lot to learn- about sailing, the boat, and also how to equip the boat before picking her up.I live in Arnold just north of Annapolis,MD and will be sailing on the Magothy River (tributary of the Chesapeake Bay) and the Bay too.  On my wish list so far I have: pop top enclosure, a solar panel, and am considering a hatch (or two?), a permanent head vs porti-potti, and a bimini, and purchasing a 8hp, high thrust,electric start, 4 stroke, Yamaha with 20" shaft instead of the UPP package. Any and all suggestions about what to put on her and how to educate myself on sailing and safety is appreciated. 
 
Thank you,
Mac McCready
