Hi there, my name is Mike and I am from South Africa. I am very pleased to have found this interesting forum and hope to learn a lot from you all.

Since I am from a third world country, with only a bit of Western know-how, I am eager to get to know how things are done in the sailing world abroad.

But for now, I will just be following the general discussions and come forward in a little while with some contributions.

OK, nice to have met you all - you will 'hear' more from me soon.

Cheers
Best Regards,
ike

Hi Ike,Val here,

Welcome aboard. Can't wait to hear from you regarding your boat and whereabouts. We have sailors onboard from several countries, Australia, Canada, Austria and now South Africa to name a few and having said so will invite those omitted to add to the list. Sorry all.
I sail a cat25 tall rig, wing keel boat circa '83 in the Great South Bay of Long Island, New York. Our sailing season is about to begin, hopefully. We've been on the hard since November some time and the itch is getting unbearable.

Hi Mike! I think you'll find this a valuable forum with some great people posting. My husband Dan & I have a C250wk and sail in the lower Chesapeake Bay (US East Coast). We're just starting our sailing season here - I'm excited since we're dropping our boat in the water this Friday!!

I'd love to a hear a little about your boat & where you sail.

Okay, let's work on the on the sailing lingo first:
Over here it's pronounced "halyard" as opposed to "Halyad" in your country. Here "starboard", there "stabad." Here, "coming about", there "com'n abot" <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Michi,
In regards to what Steve just had to say, there are a lot of different ways to say things here too. For example, I have always heard there are 4 words you need to survive in Main: Yep, nope, maybe, and Beeah. (yes, no, maybe and beer)
