Hello from Canada's East Coast

[waverider]

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Todd and I am new to this site been on here for about 2 months. Looking to make friends around the world as I plan on cruising and would love to meet up with people I meet online.

I alway here about other sailors dropping anchor to find a boat or people they met years ago, next to them. So maybe with a little luck we might develop a pen pale friendship and bump into each other in a lagoon somewhere in the tropics.....lol.

Please feel free to check out my profile and add me as a friend. I also have a profile on sailmonster.com, same profile name " waverider ".

Cheers and Looking forward to chating.

Todd, welcome aboard.

Nice to see another Mirage sailor in the forum. Which version of the 27 do you have?

Connemara

[waverider]

I have a 1981 Mirage 27 Robert Perry design. Love the boat, its a bit tender but once you know how to trim the sails the way she likes it. She is a great sailing boat.

What is your Mirage model?

[Connemara]

Same as yours. Built '82, launched '83.

Great sailing boat, comfortable to cruise, and very pretty.

I am planning a cruise from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas in my Mirage 27. I have a leaving date of Aug 15, 2010. Should be a nice trip coastal cruising her all the way down there and doing the ditch with it.

We could always start a Mirage 27 convoy........lol.

Are you out of Port Credit,Connemarra?

[Connemara]

No, Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club. where U?

[waverider]

Well Lahave River Yacht Club in Nova Scotia but I was a member of Ash Bridges Bay for a while and had a Mirage 24 at Port Credit for 4 years.
