I'm blaming my response on the hurricane wine.

Usually I notice the posting dates before I respond.

I don't have a "him" that sails. Bought a catalina 27 this past spring - took some lessons early in the summer and have been just loving sailing! My usual crew is my 4 year old daughter and my 17 year old niece. I'm a 45 year old school teacher who just always wanted to do it.

actually sailing is the easy part - its all the mainenance, repaire, engine stuff that is scaring me!

Amy,

Well done !

As for repairs etc - just do what most of us men do when faced with a repair issue: muddle through and ask a lot of questions at the chanderly
