Tradesman Introduction

Hi All,

Just joined up here, I have been in and out of this site many times, thought it was time to join in on some interesting conversation as my K32 is well underway a major refitting. As my profile states, I have been swimming in this sea of people ( China ) for 15 yrs. now. Too much humanity, time to set sail.
My boat (Kolo) sits on the hard, Chesapeake Bay area. My brother who is a seasoned craftsman is doing much of the refitting while I continue to manufacture here in Asia. I join him several times a year to keep my hands in the project, as well as do some fabrication of needed parts here in Asia at a fraction of the Stateside cost. Helps a lot with our budget.
He has also completed his own boat, 28' Erickson, bought on Craigslist for USA 1500, needless to say this was a complete makeover.
One more year here in the Middle Kingdom, then open waters. More of our plans in other forums.

Thx for reading......Tradesman

Hello sailors, I joined your site a couple years ago when I thought the ranch I work on was being sold, deal fell through. Looks like it is going to sell now. I have been planning on living the cruisers life for many years. Looking forward to new adventure and friendships. Looking for a 30 - 35 vessel, thinking Morgan O/I but open to others in the 10-20k range. Clear skies and a good stiff breeze to all
