Thanks for the welcome Sean and Jeff. My wife and I are looking
forward to
the trip to Tucson, a sail on Dauntless, and a stop in Vegas to see
my
stepson. Plan to be rolling into Marcus WA with the new boat on
10/19. I
will post more info on my present boat which will be going up for
sale soon
after we get back. It is a Halman 20 which is a north sea, double
ended,
full keel design. It also is a coastal cruiser capable of ocean
passages...
just a bit smaller than an M-23. Its a very stout little ship!
Jeff
"Tucson" M-23 yet to be named
