I am sorry too.
I posted without an
introduction..
Without going into great detail. or trying anyway. I'm from
Australia, now living in
Florida. I'm an
engineer by
trade but my pleasure is sailing boats.
Cats preferably but have raced many a
monohull all over the world.
Have sailed around oz on my own 30' Pion... (Vanderstadt). 15yrs ago.
Worked on submarines for 5 yrs.
And recently was
engineer on a few private yachts out of Ft lauderdale.
The reason i searched & found this site was to mix with & learn from sailors of all types. I'm just starting to search for designers/builders to build my own world cruising cat & as such have decided to cast a broad net in hope of gaining all that i can that may help with the process.
One thing I have learned over the years is that you never know where the next usefull bit of info or learnered thing will come from.
Cheers to all here.
Jeff
