[Rhodes22-list] Bow Repair | NH

[C. Robert Lester]

Yes indeed.
I race our R22 in the Lake Sunapee Cruising Fleet. 
THIS is just plain educational and FUN!
Great to from a "local" Rhodes sailor.
Kindly connect with me at C.Robert.Lester at Dartmouth.edu
We can talk sailing before the season of sailing.

Hi Bob,
 You already have great advice on your repair from this amazingly knowledgeable group. I just wanted to let you know that I live in Ludlow, Vermont - only 1 hour from Sunapee. I sail on Lake Champlain - an hour north of Ludlow, so if ever you want to get together we could have a Rhodes regatta of 2! Do you sail on Lake Sunapee?
