[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodes owner

Susan,

I've got my 1979 over in Havre de Grace, MD.  That's 4 of us that i'm
tracking in the North Chesapeake.  I've still got mine at the marina,
hoping to take my last sail this fall on Sunday, 17 knot winds and some
reef points.  I've got a 170 and my upwind pointing angle is about 100 to
110 degrees.  This would make racing quite difficult and I don't think the
~270 PHRF will compensate.  Next season I hope to get my boat out for the
Thursday evening races in Havre de Grace.  My goal is not finishing last
after PHRF is calculated.

BTW, good choice with the Rhodes 22.  I love the cockpit layout for
single-handing.
