Roommate just bought this Capri 25. Will be quite the upgrade from his previous 2 knot shit box, Hunter 22.

Sweet boat! My dad has a Capri 25 moored in Sandpoint Idaho. It’s been a great boat for himQuote:

Who knew boats could fly. Thanks to Kennecott, Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina, Great Salt Lake Yacht Club, GSL Harbormaster and crew plus countless familiar faces. Shout out to Dibs for everything.

Also, this is one of the corniest youtube channels out there but it is quickly becoming my go to. Old guy and his son just cruising around the northeast looking at cool old sailboats for sale.

Interested in getting into the sailing world. Did a week-long sailing charter on a sailboat in the Caribbean and got hooked. Anybody rec an ASA school in the PNW?
Which outfit did you use and where did you go?Quote:

Nice. Island hopping on a charter is on the short list. There used to be an outfit in the Antipodes that ran participatory charters on a tall ship all over the south pacific. They even had open water legs to Easter Island and Pitcairn. Looks like that venture closed shop (Soren Larsen is the ship) which is too bad. Different scale but I think something like that would be an incredible experience.Quote:

That looks like a lot of fun. Nice weather.
Guy was hauling too, probably close to 10 knotsQuote:

Back when the fam owned a boat we rented it out through Moorings, one of the biggest operations in the BVI and Caribbean at large. Chartered our own bareboats through Moorings after selling to this day. Easy peasy. For non-sailors or new sailors they offer crewed charters and sailing school as well.Quote:

Should have known there was a sailing thread here at TGR. Since BC is burning and the smoke is making biking and skiing hard on the lungs, thought buying a boat with a girl would be a good way to pass the summer… what could possibly go wrong?!

So far it has been amazing. Sure, lots of time, little bit of money and a whole lot more to learn, but hoping to eventually use it for some great ski adventures in the future!
Awesome!!! Who else been shaking them out? It’s hot here on the prairie, need stoke!!Quote:

I just signed up for a learn to sail course through my local yacht club. I'd sailed a number of times in grad school, but moved away from the coast before I ever became decent at it. I decided that now is the time to get back into it given that I live in the middle of the desert.
