[frers-list]Help for a newbie

Tue, 10 May 2005 10:55:04 +0000

Hi Carl, Dave, Bob,

Like Carl, I'm also looking for a Frers33. I sent out a few requests for info on the cruising capabilities of the Frers33 earlier this spring. I received a number of helpful replies. Thanks for those.

It sounds like Carl and I are "in the same boat"... we like the Frers33, but don't have much/any practical experience with this spcific boat. As you may recal, I'm just getting into racing. I'm in central/southern Mass and sail my sabre 34 out of Bristol, RI., so I'm closer to Dave (Wolverine). Dave, if you're willing, maybe I can hook up with Wolverine sometime this spring summer. I'm not in any real rush to find a boat and will happily sail my sabre for another season, but hope to find something by next spring.

Now, all Carl and I have to do is to find a couple of nice boats for sale.

  Rob
