I used to be a "sailor" before I became a "real" Sailor ( Navy, retired as of 2004)Ha! Nah, I've lived in AU for a decade... just get back for holidays and vacations at times... I sail. Bought a yacht in Mexico and spent six months cruising Mexico before taking a year to cross the South Pacific. We then raced her in the Sydney Hobart yacht race (one of the more difficult sailing races around)... So the CaptStarboard is a play on that... you call out "Starboard" when someone is coming at you and you have right of way...
I'll go dribble in the corner, waiting the next two years for the Gladiator to make it over here and save up my average salary to buy it
. Back home (Long Island, NY) my best friend started out with a 20ft Oday and progressed to a 26+ft. Oday. We spent many summers sailing Long Island Sound, but mostly in Peconic Bay, out Eastern fork of Long Island . As a teen we all used to gather to watch the America Cup Races . Your too modest . . . having difficulty seeing you having to save for 2 years for the Gladiator, even at Aussie Prices ? You just said you have a Sailing Yacht ! Got photo or 2 to share ? I could come up with 1 maybe 2 of our "tiny" yachts, ha ! I'd have to convert old school photos into digital, download to iPhoto and then fit to size and post !
pain in the arse ! Or is it head ? Sponsored

. Don't worry too much . . . the "GLAD" will get here . . .
