There is also a slide show we put together for the Annapolis party a couple
years ago, plus all that Chris Geankoplis’s Enosis has done since.   It
would be good to compile fun and repair photos in an easy format owners and
casual browsers could find.   

To back up the need DJ identified, I’m inland in powerboat territory and
used to be even more so in Indiana.   I had identified the limitations of my
Bucc18, and found I was sailing less due to ramp lines and weather concerns.  
Visiting marinas on vacation was biased toward big boats that need lifts.   
I visited a now defunct sailboat shop when traveling to another state and
found boats that sort of met most of my goals.  I had never seen a R22 in
the fiberglass when it made my short list.   Ted’s AirPower  videos
introduced me to the design.   I memorized Stan’s aging website and the
ancient photos in the owners’ site.    Then  Jerry invited me for a sail on
Country Rhodes.    I was primed when I visited Stan, even though that trip
didn’t go swimmingly (no wind, heat and uptight transplanted New York racers
had dibs to the marina, their snob wives especially annoying my GF).  
Modern photos and video clips, as well as preserved old ones, would help
promote the class and benefit owners that are considering selling for
whatever reason.    I’ll leave it to others to devise the format but would
be proud to include what I have of the Lark.
