Fair Winds Mark E M17 Flushdeck #103 AMY ----- Original Message ---- From: Phil & Frances <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2008 5:31:19 PM Subject: M_Boats: New Member I registered yesterday as phils.2008 and want to introduce myself to the group. I purchased "Oui-1," hull # 515, for me and my wife and we are learning to sail it on Cave Run Lake, about one and one half hours east of Lexington, KY. We are enjoying it immensely which is great since we are taking up sailing now that we have hit our 70's. We are also doing some projects on Oui-1 like installing cabin house and cockpit handrails since our age makes us want more handholds. We have taken her out in winds of 20 knots with gusts higher according to the weather bureau. She sailed through it so nicely that she gave us confidence. We lucked out by getting a couple to sail with us who have a lot of experience and are teaching us about cruising and racing. The husband has crossed oceans on sailboats, and the wife has owned and sailed her Flicka extensively. We live in central Kentucky and are planning to trail Oui-1 to new places around the country as we gain more experience and confidence.
