My first sailboat.

Hi,

I've posted a few times here, but I haven't owned a sailboat until now.

I responded to a thread to offer to help "ShadowRWolf" pull his engine and make some rudder bearings for him.

After speaking with him, he said that he was thinking about selling the boat.

I jumped at the chance, since I've been looking all over Guam for a boat to do some weekend and overnight sailing on.

Here are the threads and the boat in question:

I just got her this weekend and am really excited to get her sail ready.

In the mean time, I can rent a sailing dinghy, an American 14. This will scratch the itch until I can get my boat ready.

So.......

Hello everyone.

-Mitch

Absolutely John,

I'll be doing some work this weekend on her. I'll take a lot of pics. I'm still putting together my to do list.
