I should be at the show all day today and Monday if you want to go for a sail.

I'd be glad to hear from anyone reading this list who has an opinion. Or opinions. Seems to me the R22 has quite a few features that make single-handing easier, and I can imagine trailering it but can't imagine ME trailering the 26RK. On the other side, the 26RK is a lot more boat & amazingly comfortable below decks. It's fairly easy for one person to launch & rig (only draws 15").

I remember that Saturday was largely curious boat-lookers with little else to do when the show comes to town.  I cannot recall meeting Mac, where is his homeport?  Still hoping for the best up there!
