hi guys/gals,
i am Sparky a
new member, have to say this is the greatest site i have came across, have been reading alot here and must say you guys are a great group with a ton of information"
a little about this ole
water dog, just an ole beachbum early 50`s that has enjoyed and loves the
water and beach life, got my start with an ole sea snark styrofoam sailer (anyone remember those? lol) have mostly owned
power type crafts and pwcs, but have always deeply loved Catamarans, my Son (great kid) and i some day would love to own a nice sailing
catamaran fro those getaway winters in the
caribbean even though it would be short (son is still in school)
do not know if i or we could ever afford a great new Cat lol there is always the lottery, but have been looking for a salvaged cat and hoping for that great deal lol hard
work does not scare me even though my son tells me to slow down, i have a bit of
fiberglass knolwedge, i use to mfg
fiberglass products such as dune/buggy bodies,
race car seats, car & truck accessories ect , not quite the same process but at least a understanding (i hope lol)
i have thought of the build it yoursef projects and there is some very great articles from builders, and have located a cat
hull mold (just the lower
hull and a top) no center
deck section about a 35 footer, i was hoping if i was going to committ to such a
project with that amount of
work for this ole dog. might as well do a 40 + footer, but it may be very worth the while to locate a salveage cat, scares me a bit as i have read a few horror stories.
it is a long dream but that is what i hope for lol maybe someday, (have to have a dream for a father and son) so i will keep reading the great posts from other fellow members and keep
learning,
Sparky
