[Rhodes22-list] hull & cockpit color question

[Comcast Cover-Man]

Peter,

I have sailed both white and blue hulls, probably would prefer the blue, just has a better look than most of the other boats on the water.  The R22 looks really sharp in any of the colors.  It really depends on what Stan has available.  It is good to see you moving into this excellent boat.  I'll look forward to helping you get underway!
