Hello! We are a
family of 4 with a Mutineer 15 daysailer. Looking to upgrade to a real
boat in the next year or so.
I grew up sailing a
C&C 30 with my grandfather but I don’t have any recent experience with big
boats. However, my Mutineer has taught me a ton about sailing and has been a blast.
We’re hoping to look for a big
boat (36-42’) and since I don’t have much experience, I know I need to take some
classes (both for
insurance reasons and general safety). So far I only have the USCG Basic Boater
Safety Course, which I’ve had for over 10 years. Aside from the
ASA 100 series
classes, does anyone have any suggestions? I don’t want to get too far off the topic of introductions. So I’m sure I’ll post some questions in the proper
forums after doing a thorough search to see previous posts with similar topics…..
Anyway. I’m glad to be here and meet people! I don’t have any friends or
family that are into
boating, so I feel pretty alone. I hope to make some new friends, especially if you’re from the NJ area or surrounding states…. Or Connecticut as most of my sailing experience was up there on
Long Island Sound and Fishers Island Sound.
