New Sailor New Board

[Skipper Dan]

Hello, I just purchased A Pearson Triton # 99. It is In RI and I will have to haul it to WI. It is a project boat but is in good shape and has been indoors. I am retired now, recently divorced and looking to venture out on a dream I have have for a long time. "Cross the Atlantic to Europe". Of coarse I will start small and move my way cautiously. I have plenty of sailing ground to cover that is rather safe The Great Lakes, Mississippi, Gulf, and Bahama's. I rebuild airplanes for a living so reconstruction on "Jade" should be straight forward for me. I also have a 26' Clipper Marine that I have been working on. This will be my bigger than what I am used to sailing trainer while the Triton gets refitted.

good thoughts on using the clipper marine as a trainer, i had a clipper marine '30 and it turned out to be junk, the pearson will be good to move up to from the clipper and you'll have some confidence when you're ready for bigger water
