Another Newbie with First Boat

[ColvicJock]

Evening sailors,

I would like to introduce myself, I am very new to this. I have just purchased my first boat, a Colvic Victor 34, fin keel, ketch rig, 1980.

It is still in Swansea, I live just outside Chelmsford, Essex. I am hoping to sail it round to Essex next week. She will be moored in Tollesbury Marina.

I fear I may have many stupid questions, I will ask anyway, hope you don't mind.

Look forward to the discussions.

Ian

Ohhh congratulations! There's no first love like your first boat.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Ian.
Congratulations on your new boat!

Thanks for the welcome, it is pretty much arranged now. I have hired a skipper and me and my boy (Fergus) are going to get the boat Saturday morning. We will sail from Swansea to Tollesbury Marina.

Probably a five day trip, really looking forward to it. Weather is to be beautiful and the skipper sounds like a gent.

I'm like an eight year old on christmas morning.

Thanks again.

Hi Ian Welcome!

Came up the East coast back to the Tyne last weekend with a nice SW10, cracking sail back and even managed to not spill me coffee or get wet!
Have a safe trip
