Jhamaker: this may or may not be applicable, so pardon the hijack~-- my wife and recently purchased a
catalina 25 and live in
seattle. We're still in the beginner stage and were looking to acquire more experience both on our
boat and potentially on someone else's. We have mainly been self taught up to this point (could really use some help with the finer points of sail trim and setting up and using our reefing system,
boom vang operation, etc.) Eventually we would like to make a trip up to the san jauns and then beyond. Long term goal being
ocean crossing, world travel, etc. Interested in assisting a couple newbies? Catalina tips welcome! Cheers. . =)
