Hello from Thailand

[Tholaf]

Hi......I'm Olaf and just like to introduce myself. I have been living in Thailand since 30 years. Now I have decided to start cruising as of end of next year. No idea where I will start. It depends on where I can find the right boat for the right price. Preferably I would like to take over from someone who wants to give up his cruising life. I owned, sailed and raced manly multihulls in the last 15 years. My choice would be a cat 38-42 ft. As my budget is limited I can not afford a performance cat, so a cruiser like an FP cat must do. That's all for now. I probably will open another thread re my search for a cat. Best regards from sunny Thailand !

Hi Tholaf and welcome to CF.
I'm sure you'll find a lot of advice and well intentioned opinions here. Good luck on your boat search and future plans.

Hi Charliehows......you are right. Langkawi has quite a few boats for sale. Will be there in about 2 weeks when we sail in the Raja Muda Regatta. Thanks.

Ps. Also thanks to the other members who sent a welcome note !
