New member living in the DFW area, am looking to gain insight into live aboard situation for future. Novice, soon to be rectified, interested in learning everything I can from seasoned sailors before I pull the trigger.

Welcome to sailnet Marc, great place for learning, fire off all the questions you have and hopefully we can help. Quite a few places to learn and sail around DFW, there is Texoma, Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Arlington, Ray Hubbard, Joe Pool, Grapevine and Lewisville along with a few other that have active sailing communities. Good luck with the dream.

Thanks CatMan22 - I live a short distance from Lake Dallas and am scheduled to talk to an instructor next weekend. I am enjoying reading the forum(s) and also the associated blogs. Much to consider and plan. Thanks again for thee welcome.

Thanks man. Already enjoying reading the archives and weighing opinions! It could be overwhelming, but I am learning a lot.

Welcome to the community and good sailing. Of the lakes you mentioned, lewisville and texoma offer the best water with most of our lakes sooooo low. I used to sail on lewisville, also had an old classic chris craft that I kept in the water there, but now use texoma

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, the lake situation is pretty dismal on some places. I'm a Realtor and a client wanted lake front - we wound up in East Texas in Hideaway!

I'm looking forward to lurking and learning.
