[Rhodes22-list] 1984 for sale - Question from prospective buyer

[napoli68 at charter.net]

Charles,
            I have sailed the Rhodes for well over 35 years and I cannot 
count the times I've sailed in 20+ knots of wind, hundreds of times at 
least.  Chesapeak, Bahamas, Mexico and Pacific NW.  I never felt the 
boat could not handle it and at 30 knots it was me, and not the boat 
that threw in the towel and bare-poled it home.  This is one boat they 
do not have to worry about.
