Ron, Welcome to the Rhodes group. I know many list members are still vacationing, but I suspect you will get a ton of answers. Which great lake and where are you out of?

We are looking for a boat that will make a good boat to sail in our retirement. We like to go cruising in the Great Lakes for a week or so at a time as well as day sailing. We were wondering how many of you do trips and how adaptable this boat is to do this. If the boat carries 15 gal. of water, what do you do about the extra water you need if you want to be out away from civilization for a reasonable amount of time? What size vehicel is needed to tow the boat without putting too much stress on your vehicle. How satisfied are you with your Rhodes vs. other boats in this category? We want a boat that will be easy to handle as we age and not be something we have to constantly chase repairs for. If we get a recycled Rhodes, does the factory fix anything that needs repaired including leaks, etc? Not sure what else to ask. Where can I find cruising/trip stories by owners of RHodes 22s? Thanks for your help! Ron -- Ron Jewett What's so amazing about him? Are you kidding?See the original archive post
