Gorgeous boat! I learned to sail about 30 years ago in NE Florida on a couple of Catalina cruising boat in the 36 ft range and smaller C&C race boats. The owner and our crew were consistent winners on the river and offshore. The owner has a room full of sailing trophies from those days... Loved the competition. BTW, my screen name is a reference to those racing days...
Like all fun things the fun sort of went out of racing and eventually we just quit doing it. But Mrs Afterguard and I still enjoy Bareboat sailing in the BVI when we can get there and afford it.
Never was a racer. If you spill your Bacardi it’s time to shorten sail. My screen name is based on feeling like a fish, “outofsalt” water. My brother said I like salt water because I only just (barely) evolved out of it.
Fair winds and following seas!
There are a whole slew of sailing videos by two brothers who are circumnavigating the planet. Makes me wish I was young again. https://svdelos.com/ The most recent ones are posted first but I’ve been a fan for years. The older ones are way back in their archive list.
