New guy here!

Post by papaz »

Hi all, we just purchased a Trojan 10 meter midcabin in CT. This boat was bought to travel the intercoastal fron CT all the way to the Florida Keys. I have about 40,000 NM under my keel in sailboats both racing and cruising but the power boat thing is brand new to us. The boat will be put back in the water this May and it will be named "Rodney" after guess who in Caddy shack. Living in San Diego, the winter is not so bad and we sail year round here. :o
