Elle,
You really are getting a highly modified R22. It looks as though General  
Boats has gone all the way in trying to meet your needs. Having sailed my  boat 
for many years, I know how fast it can go from flat sailing to healing  
uncontrollably. I'm going to caution you that this is not a safe setup.(In my  
opinion) I know this is what you have asked for and GB gave you what you  wanted, 
but I don't like it and I would never, ever sail from that stern seat.  This is 
a 22 foot sailboat and it does not handle like a 30 footer. 
I'm sorry that I have to be the one to bring this up, but obviously others  
on the list either don't see the problem or don't want to ruin the moment for  
you.
 
Rummy
