Hello from Denver

[g ander]

Not new to getting underway, retired submariner - but hopefully new to the cruising world soon. Been landlocked for the last 10 years, waiting for the best time to jump into the sailing life - I’m a slow learner , there’s never a good time. Anyone have thoughts or experience with the island packet sp cruiser? My wife and I are going to look at a couple used ones in Maryland next week.

Welcome aboard, good luck in the boat search.

There's an active sailing club at Cherry Creek Reservoir. Also up at Lake Dillon. I, personally, learned to sail while I was living in Nebraska.


Just saying that you do not have to wait until you have a boat and are no longer "land locked" to become highly skilled in sail handling, reading the wind, tacking, jibing, and most of the other aspects of sailing a boat.


Good luck, from a former Denverite.
