[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 in the Sarasota Florida area

[Reuben Mezrich]

Hi
i'm in the process of moving to Sarasota from Baltimore, MD. I have an
Island Packet 380 that I keep in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore but I've
come to find that even with a draft of 4'6" the IP380 is too big to sail
around here, especially in Little Sarasota Bay. I'm not even sure I could
get it into what will be my new marina at Pelican Cove, Sarasota,
So.....I've been looking at smaller boats and after looking around and
especially after several conversations with Stan Spitzer I"m pretty sure
that a Rhodes 22 is the boat in my future.
While I"ve seen the Rhodes 22 at the Annapolis boat show on several
occasions, I"ve never actually been on her and of course have never sailed
one
So, the point of this email is to find out if there are other Rhodes 22
sailors in the Sarasota area (i.e. from Fort Myers to Tampa) that I could
talk to and perhaps take a sail before I drive up to Edonton
