Hello all,
Ellie-joe is a 1980 Nantuckett clipper 32, Shes aFull keel yawl rig with a removeable baby stay on the bow to make her a clipper as well. Shes 32 loa but only 25 on the water. (5 foot bow spirit)She was built by Offshore yachts out of norfolk england, She was built as the show boat for this company and cruised around europe to be shown at boat shows. Then crossed the atlantic and found her way to houston. now shes mine and happily floats in the san francisco bay.

I am a single-hander who will be leaving for my circumnavigation oct 2007. Untill then just doing extended sea-trials untill the day comes to go under the golden gate and turn left. Just working and building the kitty till then. I look forward to reading all thses posts and put my 2 cents in
Thanks for this site.
Cheers

Welcome Kingfish!
A fellow Bay-er, Kool!. Nice to have someone else local aboard, if you ever need a extra hand w/crewing for some of those short local runs, let me know. I would enjoy seeing your boat, and learning a thing or two.  Grin

BTW how's Andy?  j/k (maybe u'r too young for that, ...just had a glass of brandy...  Wink)

It looks like I am across the bay from you, Im in south city. I will defintly keep you informed on crew needed. I just signed on with a dockmate of mine to do the tuesday nights beer can races at sierra point Y/C. And am signed up to run with him in the master mariners this year. As far as taking my boat out I go at east once a week, and if you are on the city side your more than welcome to stop in and say hello. I am at oyster cove marina. You can send me a message with your contact info if you like.
As for Andy. I do not know him but if he makes a good martini he could stop by too.
Cheers

I'm not familar with that Marina. I've been over to the ones in Alameda a few times, but not south city.

I sent you an email already about that DVD player. Maybe we can hook up sooner than later.
