Hi all,
"Middling" sailing resume acquired over many years but always on someone else's boat or as a bareboat charter. Now getting serious about a '70s Pearson. I will update as victory (or failure) progress.
I'm a EE by background and also a fan of "Sailing Uma" (comments elsewhere). I have some (ever expanding) knowledge of alternative energy including solar, tidal, hydrogen so will try to contribute where I can. At least until I can discuss what is wrong with MY boat.
Based on the west coast.
Past experience with Rival 34, Tartan 41, many types of Catalina, Aloha 32, Pearson 53, O'Day 39 (and dinghys).
