Brand Newsemi-disabled sailor
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:44 pm
I just bought a well equipped '01 26x w/70 hp Suzuki and all lines carried aft.
I have worries about sailing solo as I only have decent use of 2 fingers and my thumb on my left hand and my back is really limited.
Aside from that is there any specific info from nearby sailors about what bottom paint I want and where to get it applied?
I am in Port Angeles Wa. and am planning on docking at John Wayne marina and hope to keep it in all season, The boat was only sailed '02-03 and has never had bottom paint and was hauled after every sail and spray washed so the bottom is pretty much perfect. I have been keeping up on the groups but so much of the info seems to be regional that I am a bit overwhelmed and really don't want to screw up my boat the first time I paint it.
In another note is there someone out here on the peninsula that I could hire for a hands on rigging lesson / maybe some hands on ?
Thx Art
