[Rhodes22-list] Washington Sailing Marina

[Mary Lou Troy]

Thanks for the input Mark. Still surprised that a R22 would go so far 
over but if the cockpit drains were blocked water could get into the 
cabin. If it listed far enough water could come in through the sink 
drain. The way the boat was tied may also have interfered with it's 
ability to remain level or to recover.

Thanks again,
Mary Lou
