All, Thank you for the welcome, I joined the list a few months back standing and reading some of the post in the background. Although I have been around and on the water most of my life I am new to sailing and have a lot to learn. I bought a 78 Catalina 27 last winter and enjoyed sailing on Hudson river over the summer and fall.
Happy holiday season to everyone. Stephan On Nov 29, 2007 5:39 PM, Clyde Thorington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Stephan - Welcome to the list and the Catalina 27.
