[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22 weight with trailer

[boris at borisland.com]

Thanks, Patrick, this is helpful!  How is your Rhodes configured?  Does it have an in-mast furler and a marine head?  Any other heavy items on board?  I am amazed that there’s a 1000lb variability for boat weight minus the trailer among the list members here.
