Hi all,
Just saying hello here and want to say that I've very much enjoyed this forum. I'm a 59 yr old male, lifelong
power boater, recently purchased my first sailboat, a 1979
Gulfstar 47'
sloop. She needs some attention and she is getting it. I recently brought her down from
British Columbia with 3 other sailors, an 855 nautical mile trip and she performed very nicely. I recently passed
ASA 101, 103, and 104 and look forward to gaining more experience with her on
San Francisco Bay. I'm surprised how fast she moves for her bulk. She's a big girl but we've already hit 9.5 knots on the bay last week! Looking to find other sailors to join the festivities and particularly those that might be available on week days. Cheers, Rob
