[Rhodes22-list] jersey shore

Where on the Jersey shore? Several people sail in the bay off of Long Beach
Island. Winds are regularly 10 mph + , and there are lot's of shallow
areas. Some form of Depth meter is good and you need to decide how big your
genoa/jib should be. Last year I bought new sails and bought a smaller jib
because my larger jib was regularly reefed (furled down) -  I  mostly do
solo sailing and now prefer the 135 to my previous larger jib.I also enjoy
speed and big air - the boat has more control with the smaller jib and it
is just as fast but less awkward.

stan is hard at work re-building my rhodes to be. i'm wondering if anybody
who sails at the jersey shore would be willing to give me some advice about
outfitting-what i need and what's superfluous. i plan on some day-sailing
with frequent two- and three-day trips.
thanks for your help, lynn
