[Rhodes22-list] Arkansas Sailing

[ftugwell at cox.net]

Right: the Washington Sailing Marina is across the WW bridge toward the 
airport.  National Harbor is an expensive new development, but they have 
not been able to fill the marina.  All but five of the slips are 60-foot 
slips.  Lots of sailboats around and several clubs that race.  We have a 
Regatta on the river in Sept. to benefit the Leukemia/Lymphoma society 
and I have been thinking of entering my Rhodes22, provided I can find 
some crew members who are interested..  My Genoa is 150 but the boat 
moves right along in a good wind.  I will probably do some practice 
racing on the club flying scots in advance.  What is the optimal crew 
size for racing the 22?
