Hello all
For a number of years I have been reading these
forums and I thought it time to register and say thank you to all the members here who have provided me some great information and entertainment.
I am one of those sailors who does not classify themselves as a Cruiser or
Racer, Mono or Multi huller, I like many like to adjust my outlook towards the type of
boat that I am on at the time, participating in what ever I am participating in at the time. Thus maximising my enjoyment of this great pastime.
Cruising on G-whizz is restricted to
day sailing with friends and
family with the occasional 3-4 day jaunt up or down the coast out of Port Jackson. Most of our sailing is club
racing G-whizz, or the occasional
regatta on G-whizz or friend's yachts.
We do however like to keep G-whizz in "cruising trim" (It's not too onerous to change sails). and regularly overnight after a Twilight or a long race/après
race get together. (by keeping in cruising trim pretty much all we have to do is put up the RFG, load on more provisions and put the
anchor onto the bow roller).
Most of our cruising is on other's boats whether an overseas (normally somewhere in the Med)
charter, a jaunt in the Whitsundays or the occasional longish
delivery to help a friend out.
All that said ,thank you again for what I have read on these
forums, it has helped me greatly in
boat improvement/maintenance, made me a better sailor and given me much better appreciation of the greater world of sailing.
Thanks
Graeme
