Not a sailor anymore

Post by adamthier »

after 30 years of sailboat ownership -- racing and cruising -- finally have come over to the full time iron genny side with a 35CB. absolutely love the boat -- does so many things so well. Couldn't get my head around life at 8knts in trawler, nor deal with the whole "trapped inside" helm position of a "classic" downeast yacht. I needed a boat I could get on and off the dock myself (and the 4 steps from the CB make that super easy) -- as well as spend weeks prowling anchorages in the NE. Going to do the dumb thing and fully refit it stem to stern.
