[Rhodes22-list] Installation of Edson wheel steering

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I must add that this is a radical change to the R22, in my opinion.  I have been sailing both larger (35’ to 41”) and numerous smaller boats (25’ down to 12’) for over 50 years now and much prefer the tiller on smaller craft as you get a much better feel for the boats operation with the ability to enhance its performance.  So unless there is a medical or physical issue, I’d recommend that you sail with the tiller for a period before committing to converting to wheel.
