rocket 22

[Jeff Prideaux]

I saw an interesting article in sail magazine about the new "rocket 22" sportboat. It looks neat but after adding up how much it would cost, I'm still quite happy with my H216. I just wish the weather was warmer where I live. I'm about to go on a 4-day vacation to the coast but will leave my H216 in the driveway since its too cold to sail!!! I'll probably get there, though, and have an unseasonably warm day or two and wish I brought my boat!!

I have to agree that it is a very exciting boat, at least on paper. The problem that I see is the same one we currently have with the 216 and that is having simular boats to race against. When I see that I could buy three 216s for what it would cost to by a single Rocket 22, At least for now, I'd buy the three boats and at least I'd have some others to start to build a fleet.Also, if you added a few dollars to the cost of a fully equiped boat, you could probably come close to buying a Melges 24.
