I have been hanging around this forum for the last couple years. I finally made the plung. Just brought my (new to me) C250 home last Sunday. Took the maiden sail Thursday afternoon.

Great boat - Great information on site to help with my decision/purchase. I hope to participate in the forum in the future. Sailing out of Boston Harbor near Olympia, WA.

Lot of good people on the site.

Wil, welcome to the forum and I hope the association. The best $20 you will ever spend. I did do a double take when I saw your sail number. Long story, but lets' just say your in great shape so go out and have a blast.

Wil.. welcome to our family. Glad to see someone semilocal. I sail out of Port Orchard. I'd be glad to meet up with you if you are in the area.

Thanks for the comments.

I had a great maiden sailing weekend. Winds wern't consistant, but when they were blowing she was a great sailor. Get the sails trimmed she stays on a heading with minimal wheel inputs. Very impressed with boat so far. Stayed on board (at marina) with wife and little girl (3 yr. old). Both were impressed with accommodations.

Greg,
If you ever make it down to the south sound area, let me know. The meet up would be welcome.
