New daysailer owner in Clearwater

[domromer]

Just thought I'd say hi and share some pics. I picked up a daysailer off a friend today. Took her out for the maiden voyage off the Dundein Causeway. Temps were in the 40s which is Artic for Florida. Had a lot of fun. The boat is a bit rough and I'd like to do a budget friendly/ simple restoration. I'm sure I'll be here a lot asking questions and reading old threads.

Welcome aboard! That looks to be a pretty nice boat. My boat is snowed in, so 40° and sailing sounds pretty good to me.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice way to keep in the shade. Now, if you were to lead all your lines to the cuddy...

Great lookin' boat Dom! Can't wait to see her in person on one of the future WCTSS trips. Yep, lots of access to the cuddy space - almost makes me wish I had a -1! ;-P

BTW, I see you have the "down to release" mainsheet camcleat - good thinking! I'll get a lot of flak on here for saying that, but trust me, it's the only way to go ...
