I've finally gotten around to joining WOA since purchasing Sannyasin in January. Spring and Summer, I've been pretty busy stripping flaking varnish, cleaning greasy corners and all those other tasks that come with acquiring a used boat. The todo list is still pretty long unfortunately, but I'm still hoping that I might be able to take her out a couple times this year. Anyway, doing all the repairs has forced me to learn a lot and has been great fun as well.
Sannyasin is a pretty interesting boat as she's a gaff rig kit boat (originally named Golden Girl and renamed by the second owner). She's currently berthed in Jersey City, NJ and is my first boat. I hope to fix her up, sail her a lot, and keep her for a long time.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting questions.
