[Rhodes22-list] R22 Mainsheet rigging

[Stan Spitzer]

Joe, nice to see your concern for all your Rhodies mates continuing, in 
spite of your move to what I have to imagine is a new and broader 
boating world.  Yes, ROC is still afloat. And yes, so am I and this year 
I will be one of the exhibits. Glad to know many of the "LISTS' brains 
will be attending.  I may have a few questions.
