Another New Guy

[bmorton]

Hello Everyone!

I have been waiting several weeks to get my approval to get on the forum. I bought a project boat on Memorial day and have been working on it when I can since. Its an 87 CP 16/2. I wanted the bowsprit as I heard that makes a bit of a difference. I might have been a bit hasty as I really would like one a little newer, but fate seemed to point me to this one so there you go.

I am 50 now and have been sailing since my Dad taught me as a teen. I have raced hobie cats and had a boat similar to the CP 16 but have never really had the time to enjoy a boat as often as I would have liked. I intend for this one to be different. I can tell that the level of experience and knowledge in this forum is way above par so I hope I can count on you all for advice and shortcuts to get me back on the water soon. Thank you in advance -Brian

Welcome Brian

Congratulations on your new boat.

Your right on about this site, good people willing to share a lot of knowledge. Also a good place to share adventures.

Good luck on your refit and if you ever feel discouraged just look through some of the photo albums. There are a lot of amazing craftsmen out there willing to share there knowledge.
