Just a quick note to introduce myself. I retired and moved from the rat-race that is
Long Island to the bucolic Finger Lakes Region of NYS. My first sailboat was a
C&C 27.
Sold it on a whim to an older couple who fell in love with it in the
boat yard as I was prepping it for the new season. I got a great
price for her but still miss her years later. Next purchased an O'Day Mariner
keel version, and just this past Autumn purchased a strange little craft known as a Saroca.( I know, I'm supposed to be trading up, not down) All of 16 ft overall, it is supposed to be good for SAiling, ROwing and CAnoeing. Came with a 18' stick, boom and crispy North sail, a pair of oars and a pair of paddles. Also included was a nice little
trailer in great shape. I am looking forward to trying it out on the many lakes around here. Lake sailing in a non-keel
boat will be a new experience for me. This looks to be a wonderful site and resource, and I am glad I found it.
