Background in Sail?

[SeaSpray]

Hi All,

I started reading about sailing when I was in grade school - Francis Chichester and Gypsy Moth. I started sailing on a styrofoam Snark sailboat while in school at a tech. college. After getting a job I got a West Wight Potter 15 and learned about sailing on San Francisco bay ( almost ruined the wife for boating with the learning curve). We went on to share a 23ft and a 26ft sailboat with some good friends until I got the bug for a larger boat on the bay. My last one was a 1974 Tartan 30. Had a lot of fun sailing the bay with lots of people.

I got tired of not being able to take it where I wanted to go such as the San Jauns. I sold the Tartan around 1998 with the idea of getting a trailerable sailboat. Then I started sea kayaking. This kept me on the water since I could not find the right boat.

I had seen and admired the C-Dory for years but did not think I could give up sailing (although I allready had). I got the bug about this time last year and bought my 22 in Sept. We spent 15 nights on board in the San Juans and Gulf Islands. And a friend just bought an Olson 30 sailboat - now I can do both.
