New C22 Owner in Wisconsin
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2015 6:42 pm
Hello!
A buddy of mine and I just acquired a '76 C22 that we hope will take us from simply being two guys with just a little bit of small open boat sailing experience experience between us to being a couple of guys that might actually dare call ourselves sailors.
We had it in the water for the first time last weekend, when a knowledgeable friend of my buddy's was kind enough to go out with us and help us get it rigged and pointed in the right direction. So far we have discovered that we totally love it despite a few minor things that need some attention before it sees water again. As of now, the plan is to address those things quickly and get back out on it a few more times before the Wisconsin climate shuts us down for the winter. The winter will then be spent trying to really dial it in for some serious fun (and learning!) next summer.
I already have long list of questions, but I won't bother you all with those just yet. So far, diligent searching of this forum and the internet at large has proved to be very rewarding in that regard.
Excited for the journey ahead,
Tom
