Hi everyone i have been browsing this form for a few weeks decided to join in. My evolution of
boating started with small dinghies and
wood boats destined for a landfill that I fixed up and used as a kid. Then on to several different types of powerboats and
cabin cruises I had for many years to follow. About 15 years ago I started sailing my only regret with sailing is that I didn't start sailing in my childhood. I start with a Hobie 14 then move to oday mariner 19 (loved that boat) to
Catalina 25 standard rig swing
keel which I still sail today with
retirement from
work in the not-so-distant future I've been looking to move up to the 36 to 45 foot range mono
monohull for Coastal and
Caribbean sailing I'm hoping to find some links and information through these
forums and learn from other people's experiences
Who knows maybe someday I'll be a shellback
