Looking for a 40 ft.

[Salgari]

Hi Pegleg sands thanks so much. May be I need to rein-in a bit. Would be nice chart a boat with a skiper, and sure we'll learn a lot. Se you around and thaks for your support!

Thaks denverdOn, you have a point there, I agree, a machine well used, even an old one, is far better than other misused or careless maintained.

I didn't necessarily mean rein it in,just do your homework and learn all you can.It's a very small boat in a very big ocean.The only thing better than being in a warm breeze in the middle of the night following a phosphorous trail seeing so many shooting stars nobody would believe you,is having somebody with you to share it.Then again,there's seeing dry land after some real weather.I love the North Atlantic.It's better than poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick.

in May we sailed across the atlantic and are now in Tunisia -- for us we got the absolutely right boat -- we love her - she sails well is great for the 2 of us and built like a brick s***house --

Chucks, what year is your DS40?
