Hello from Portland, Maine
Hello all! I new to sailing and am currently using a friends Tanzer 22 this summer to learn. My wife and I are loving it! I'm sailing around Portland, ME and I've learned so far to stay out of the lee of islands!

Our plans are to move south next year, buy a live-a-board, practice another year then take off to Europe.

Mike

I see from your avatar you've been practicing your "knots"
Welcome

Welcome to the forum,
Tanzers are great boats to learn sailing on.
Happy Sailing,
