Hey Wayne,,, that is funny.. my first sailboat was a Pearson Commander built
in 1964 ..

Let's see ,,, I owned her back in ??????? 1976. Ooops, I just forgot,,, I
owned another boat before her..

My first was a Hackercraft triple cockpit speed boat built in 1920 as

one although a lot older and a few feet shorter:

I thought I was experienced when I bought it but that myth was quickly
dispelled.
