[Rhodes22-list] Help

[Eric Larson]

Matt,

I think that you just bought the Rhodes that I was going to try and look at
in the next couple of weeks!

Would you mind a visit from someone who wants a rhodes?  I really like the
design in theory, but have never set foot on one so I don't know if all the
theory will work out well for me and my family.

I would love to get on the boat with my family so I can see how we fit (we
have 4 kids, 6 1/2, 5, 2 1/2 and 1).

I am not expecting you to take us out for a sail or anything (though I would
not refuse if you offered ;)).  I really just want to see how we fit in the
space that is available.

We live near Lake Champlain in northern VT.

Thanks,
Eric
