Just joined the sailing/cruisers forum, recently purchased a 29ft Trintella /Van der Stadt, its a project and have made the start, placed it close to me and looking to launch in the spring, refit for day sailing initially, undertaking my Day Skipper this winter, will sail out of Scarborough, I intend to pull her back out in the autumn and fit her out for some longer passages, I would like to take her to Portugal
Welcome to the forum. I once had a steel kit, Van de Stadt design steel, hulldeck and cabin.

Re: Hello!
Welcome to CruisersForum!
I would suggest updating your profile with your general location and your boat make & model or “Looking” in the "Boat" category. This info shows up under your UserName in every post in the web view. Many questions are boat and/or location dependent and having these tidbits under your UserName saves answering those questions repeatedly. If you need help setting up your profile then click on this link: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...ml#post3308797
I would happily help more if the link above is not enough.

A house is but a boat so poorly built and so firmly run aground no one would think to try and refloat it.
Welcome aboard Opalescent! Great boat you have there. There is one ( a 1A I believe) nearby here that I see out cruising our local islands occasionally. (photo link attached) My boat is similar in design in many ways; I'm sure you are going to really enjoy her. https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...ture30745.html
