Greetings Regina;

Nice looking boat, except the ports in the hull, weld them over then
you will have a proper world crusier.

You can get better info on alt.sailing.asa then you can here.

Dear Ragina:

Joe has some very good advice. I belive the alt.sailing.asa group has
many more serious sailors willing to help and give supportive
suggestions than you'lll find here.

Also, one person who is consistantly posting helpful advise to woman
sailors goes by the name Wilbur............... Another good source is
also the first books I bought my partner. It is titled , "Changing
Courses: A Womans Guide To Chooseing The Cruising LIfe" by Debra Ann
Cantrell. Well written book for crusing women by a crusiing woman.
Although its also an excellent book for men who need a little
"development and enlightening" to women's special needs.

I just joined the group and thought I'd say hi. My name's Regina. I'm
a stay-at-home mom of two girls, (6 and 8). My family and I live
aboard our 66' Bruce Roberts HM 56 full time.

We bought he boat on ebay as a liveaboard project boat. We're going to
put a schooner rig on her and re-do the interior of the boat along
with the systems. As we're planning to make all the systems simple, it
won't cost as much.

Our goal with Boudicca is to live on and circumnavigate in a large
boat on a small budget.

I started a blog to follow our progress, (http://
schoonerboudicca.blogspot.com), though within the next week or two,
I'll be building a whole website, including blog, athttp://www.SchoonerBoudicca.com.

I look forward to being part of the list...

Greetings Regina;

Nice looking boat, except the ports in the hull, weld them over then
you will have a proper world crusier. Do you have the rigging?

I have a steel hull too, have been on steel boats most my life so if
you need any tips just ask. Also have lived aboard 20+ yrs.

You can get better info on alt.sailing.asa then you can here.

Good luck on your planned voyage. What a keen education your kids
could get sailing around the globe, what better school house than the
real world eh?

Thank you. She's a fiberglass boat. We have to fix the windows in the
hull as well as several other things. Her rig is long since gone and
we'll be re-rigging her. I will check out alt.sailing.asa as well...
Thanks again!

Well... since she's fiberglass ...I take back everything I said good
about her ;0)

Good luck on the project..
