I bought your books and used them, I learned a lot. I did all the steps as you said, even the trial sail. Everything went well, but it all took a long time. I rented a slip where I live, got insurance, borrowed from the credit union, paid 50% cash, and everything went well. Had a professional Marine Surveyor --very good man. I thank you for your knowledge and advice. Jim, SC |
"Thank you for the e-lesson on boat tying. I have printed it off for reading and re-reading. I enjoyed Doug's talk about tips on buying a boat at the seminar in Port Credit. Bruce, ON |
"Just to let you know that I am now the owner of a Mirage 25 and the purchase went very well. We still have to confirm with sea trials but the surveyor said the boat was in better than average condition and well cared for and with newer motor and sails there shouldn't be any surprises. Paul |
The information you have given me is exactly the kind of thing I need. That 'stand backwards' trick is priceless by itself! I truly appreciate the information. I can't wait to get out on the water and work on it. I'm sure it'll make an amazing difference. That one little tidbit, though I've not even tried it out yet, will undoubtedly save me lots of aggravation, lots of discomfort, and lead to a far safer, more controlled, more predictable, and more successful set of docking procedures. The rest of the information you've given me is gravy. Again, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help me. Bill R, SC |
