Welcome to the list. I think you will find a wealth of information  
available as you proceed with your project boat. Although primitive, the furler  
for the genny is bullet proof and allows for sail adjustment without having to 
 change sails. I'm assuming it has the standard 175?
The cockpit drain is self bailing and the huge cockpit is a real advantage  
for sailing with friends. The R22 was originally designed to be a coastal 
sailor  and handles beautifully in a lot of different conditions. Does your 
boat have  the inner mast furling system for the main?
