I recently bought a 28' searaker , planning on fixing her up a little and start wintering where it's warm, gotta learn to sail her first though, looking forward to making friends on this site.

Yes , it's in Port Washington Wi , on lake Michigan right now awaiting a truck ride home , I've gotta replace the cabin sole and give her a good going over before her next launch, hopefully next spring. After that a long ride down the tenn tom to the gulf .
