Hi Everyone - From Oz

G'day everyone

I've been lurking here for a while now. I'm finally going to be getting my first decent cruising boat (Rogers Contessa 26). She's a bit of a basket case, but the price is too good to resist and I reckon she's going to scrub up real nice.

Still doing the final logistics thing (got to be pulled out in Sydney Harbour, then trucked up here, craned off into my front yard & set up with Brownell boat stands. Then I can slowly strip her and make her feel good again (no, not like that!).

Got a lot to do before she feels the tickle of water again (couple of long running projects to complete first - one being to finish off a Hawaiian outrigger canoe build that's about half way through ).

Anyway, you'll probably want to ignore many of my posts. I'll likely just be probing with loads of idiotic questions that newbies always seem to pester people with. Bye for now.
