Just wanted to introduce myself... My girfriend and I are going to pick up our first sailboat tomorrow morning: a late 90's Catalina 14.2.
We have been reading, watching and studying to get ready. I learned the basics of sailing on a Catalina 25 here in lake Travis and crewed on the Clipper City in Key West for a Summer. Now that I have been reading all these books, I can't believe how much I didn't learn! My girlfriend, Louise, is starting from scratch.
The 14.2 seems like it will be the perfect boat to learn in and continue to enjoy as a couple oriented activity......okay, some of you feel free to gag at that one. As I get older, more and more things like that just seem to pop out....my back included
Anyways, glad to be here!
