[Rhodes22-list] If I can't fix the Rhodes, another sailboat for now?

[Alan Robertson]

The O'Day is a "tubby" sailor and we beat the pants of those on our lake; the Catilina 22  a little better sailer, but none is as comfortable or "overbuilt" for long lasting sturdiness as the Rhodes. Only one which comes near it is a Compac 23. Stay away from McGregor 24s - crappy construction but they look good. I'm not keen on McGregor WATER BALLASTING.
