We bought our first sailboat!

A suggestion - ours was a pig in light air until we put a Maxprop on it - then watchout. Prior to the Maxprop we needed 15 kts of wind to get moving, afterward we were ghosting along in 2 knots. I thought the new prop would allow us to go faster and was surprised at how much it helped with little wind (I hate turning on the engine).

Congrats and enjoy!

Thank you that advice. It will be most definitely heeded.
