Howdy from the Lone Star State of Texas

Howdy from Texas,

Just joined the forum since I am starting on a small boat building project. I will be building a Michael Storer Goat Island Skiff. Last time I built a boat from down under it was a Rob Given's, Paper Tiger catamaran. Way back in 1975. Spent many years sailing a Gougeon Brothers, built Tornado catamaran trying to win a berth on the USA Olympic Sailing Team. We got close a few times but never made it to the Olympics. I have been the owner and around boats all my life and plan to keep it that way with this new boat.

Thanks for letting me in.

Welcome to the site.

Trying to not make a big deal of aboard :U

I originally read your intro and was thinking that I read 1795, then it became clear 1975. Been around for a while, eh.

Texx,

Ease up on Johnno. Yes there is a Texas in USA. It's that state that's a whole lot smaller than West Australia.
