Hey, don't worry about it. It's a good thread.

Maybe start another one and tell us more about your boat and the race. Sounds pretty interesting!

I found this fellow's contribution to be pretty humorous.

Daveyjustin,

Since writing the following, have you found your boat and are you living aboard her yet? If yes, please send me a message as I'm also in Toronto and have some questions for you (with apologies for using this as my message medium - I'm a new member).

The O.P. recently bought a Contessa 26, so his dream lives on, he found the right boat, now he just has to fix it up and begin learning. Look at his boat soon after he bought it, what a gorgeous little boat...

yep Livin and I go way back...

No really I first met him in another form..and he struck most of us as a man not to be deterred but yet listened and took advice from more experienced sailors with out criticism or defensiveness..Having him leave school when half way through was my and some others biggest caution..

Hes a good egg and working on his diesel mechanics ticket so we will be picking his brain one of these days...


Edit...I once tried to rename him Livinoutadream once he bought that boat but it didn't stick..

Way to go, Taylor!

Hey, post some more boat photos if you get a chance. I can't be the only one that would love to hear more about the boat and the project.
