Greetings From Vancouver Island

[luepetri]

Husband and I are a few months away from becoming live a boards and sailing off to begin a life time dream.

Our 37" Cooper Ketch is nearly ready -the Captain very capable and I the first mate very eager. (the two ginger Katz make up the rest of the crew) Look forward to hearing many words of wisdom and experience from you all. We are very teachable and excited about this adventure.

Many years ago together with designer Stan Huntingford visited boatbuilders called COOPER brothers on the Northshore of Vancouver,

They built beautiful boats, would they be the same builders of your yacht??

Welcome

You are located in the most picturesque locale in the world.

I will be in you stumping grounds on Friday for the Victoria Boat Show followed by a course out to Barkley Sound and back. Leaving from Sidney.

Welcome! We've sailed that part of the world & it is both beautiful & challenging. Enjoy all the good info here!

I am wondering if you've checked with the Katz about this sailing plan? If not, you may wish to discuss it further with them, unless of course they're Kitten-katz, in which case they'll likely buy in!
