[Rhodes22-list] HOW DO YOU SAIL SINGLEHANDED?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Tiller Tender - $30 - wouldn't sail single handed without it.  Its kinda
iffy trying to raise my non-IMF main without something holding the tiller
steady.  I don't know if I could get in/out of the marina single handled
under sail alone though.
