Hello, I sail in SF

[flo617]

Hi everyone,

My name is Florent and I currently live in the San Francisco bay area.

Before moving to California I used to sail with Community Boating in Boston, MA

I have a small laser one that I have been sailing since the end of summer 2010 and I've had a blast with it cruising around especially during fleet week (so so many boats out there! great wind and great show too...)

I am also looking to purchase a used sailboat. 29 feet seems to be the ideal size for me so far (small enough to single hand easily yet big enough to spend the week-end in comfort. I am looking for something sturdy and seaworthy with good sailing characteristics above all (that does not mean it has to be a rocket just not an ass).

Any help is always welcome

Thanks for reading this and see you out there some day maybe!

Florent
