Hello from China

[OldSalty920]

I am a travel enthusiast and have limited sailing under my belt. I want to end up owning a sailboat in a few years and will be chartering between now and then.

I currently live near Dalian in northeast China, so I will check that location out this upcoming sailing season to find out about their chartering and training situation. Please feel free to share if you know more than I do (which is nothing at this point). I also plan to sail near Phuket, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia in winter.

I have experience in a monohull but would like to move to a catamaran as I am most interested in recreational sailing, bringing friends and family onboard, and finding that catamarans have so much more room to entertain.

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.
