I’m Charles and have been lurking in the background for a few years now but today that is changing cause I have decided that
buying a sailboat is definitely in my future.
If I don’t try to do some of the things I dreamt of , I won’t know if any of it was possible. I would rather try and fail than not to try.
So my background: I grew up moving every 3-4 years with my
family until I became an adult, then I did what most do.Go about our lives.
But while growing up I spent every summer in Duxbury Ma on the
water and used the rowboat that had been the
tender to my granddad’s 40’
ketch designed by Sam Crocker, a
boat that I have been trying to find for more years than I even want to amid, I seem to be running about 8 to 10 years behind it.
I’ve sailed beetle cats, larger catboats, helped a uncle with his 27’ Bristol, sunfishes and probably the worst day sailer ever designed a Chrysler Mutineer, of which I still own but it hasn’t been splashed in over a dozen years. Now I’m
shopping for a
ketch in the 30-40’ range. And there’s one that I’ll be viewing in 2 weeks!
