Title: New to me boat
Post by: wolverine on July 22, 2021, 06:55:07 PM
Our offer on a Sieldman 295 was excepted and we signed the papers and wrote the check.  We're waiting on Coast Guard documentation and paper work.  We're on a 6800 mile road trip and when we return I'll sail it from Virginia home to North Carolina.  At 29 1/2 feet, this is the biggest boat we've owned.  The wife is excited as now she will have a "proper" head and standing head room.  A new adventure begins.

Hope you enjoy creating new adventures

Thanks everyone.

This is new to me and I'm looking forward to sailing her home.  That alone will be an adventure.  Still not sure which ditch I'm going to take.  The Dismal Swamp or the Elizabeth to North Landing River.
