Just saying hello

Hi everyone been looking around the forums and figured I register
My wife and I have purchased an S2 9.2c Center cockpit sailboat. As of right now she is on the hard and we are painting and cleaning and all-around refitting her for cruising in the Keys(splash in Dec). I have sold the Cal 34' that I had as the S2 boat had a better layout for us with the aft cabin.We are late twenties and selling our houses and retiring. I just figured I say hi before I start posting a million questions

Darn it, if you can retire before 30, I can retire now.

Welcome aboard! I nearly bought an S2 prior to my Newport. Very solid in my opinion. It had an aft cabin, center cockpit. They started in power boats and morphed into sailboats for a while. I liked it; I wish you good luck with yours. Again, welcome aboard.
