Dribs and Drabs

I was talking to the current owner of the sailboat today, we only get a few minutes to chat at a time. I was going to go this weekend to check it out but he is away this and the next three weekends. Well, I'm glad neither of us is in a rush anyway. I might try to squeeze a Friday instead if that works out. i will bring a camera along to get some pictures and see how to post them here.

The price sounds good. The hulls are white and the sails are blue. I was sort of hoping for yellow hulls and perhaps even the Tequila Sunrise sail scheme...but it's not like I can mix and match when buying a used boat.

I ordered a book on catamaran sailing yesterday and it may be in next week.

Next up is to price new standing rigging, ropes (or sheets) and trampoline as those are the most likely things needing replacement. On top of that will be trailer attachments. I may see if I can locate a used cat trailer but I doubt that I will have much luck at that so I will first look at modifying the boat trailer that I have. It seems to be OK, bearing may need packing though.

Jeff.
