Looking for a deal on a trailer sailer

Hey it looks like I may have a boat to race soon so send me your contact info. I probably won't be ready until I can go to the racing seminar on May 29th. I'm already crewing for someone else for the Shoe.

No doubt J22 is also a great boat. Fixed keel, but light and easy to tow. Only 2 other crew to chase around. You don't have to go far at all to race against some world class competition. I guess the only downside is you'll probably spend 3 times the money in inital cost than a C-22.   

In other news, I heard Buddy will be having a seperate start for the C-22 class on Wednesdays.  Things are certainly looking up for the local Fleet 17.

Your beginning to intrigue the fat old phart here.  Haven't been on a C22 in 30 years.  Might be interesting to come out an play again on Wed Nights.

The C22's appeal is the lower cost to get started. I'd like a bigger boat but don't want to wait to have fun until I've saved up the cash needed. The C22 allows me to get involved while still saving for a future boat.

With a separate class forming for Wednesday nights I am definitely going to have to make something happen before next year.

Hey now Bee...if that's an offer to come on a C22 if I buy one, that's a lotta incentive. From what I hear, the chance to pick your brain a little is something not to be avoided. Actually, I'm hoping to get it lined out to use a boat that someone has and they're not racing right now. Maybe you'd still come out and play...?

Thomas:

Don't believe everything you hear and be careful of what you hear from Brian.  I'm pushing the age where I probably should just bail and not sail.  Like I said I haven's sailed on a Catalina 22 in 30+ years so I have no idea how to make one go.

put Kevin on the jib trim and BC on the main and it don't matter the model...it'll go...

[Bee]

Could put you on the main as well Ed.
