G'day from the Southern Ocean

Hi to all out there...I have been following this site for a couple of years now, not realising what I had to do to post!! So now here I am.
I currently live in NZ , am an Aussie and love sailing -- have built 2-3 sailing catamarans and have owned about 6 catamarans and 1 trimaran.
Hope to return to Aussie later this year and plan on buying another catamaran.
Brisbane has traditionally been my home base...cheers from a Jeff B

Re: G'day from the Southern Ocean

G'day Jeff, and welcome to the active side of CF. You have been watching long enough to know your way around, so sit back and post when appropriate. You'll find lots of other multi hulll enthusiasts around, as well as some of us mono freaks who aren't worried about culture clash.

Enjoy!

Jim

Re: G'day from the Southern Ocean

Good on yer! Had an Easy 10.5 called Bushytales and an Evolution cat 43' pretty much designed by myself, called WICKED. If you ever amble into the big marina at Townsville you see her there. A magic boat - best I've ever built!!!
Cheers from Bushy
