<p>Hi Grant, </p>
<p> well things went like this; I eventually decided on an Easy 37 bridgedeck cat, that I started in January ‘14 & launched in June ‘18, enjoying her 1st cruise up the Qld coast now. Somehow all the hours spent fade into insignificance now.</p>
<p>one thing that helped me get started was realizing that it may take 5 years, but if you don’t get started, 5 years will go by anyway. Good luck with your ship Grant, it will be so much more you than a bought one.…<br></br> <br></br></p>

<p> I love the soft wingsail rig on my hinemoa, super effiecient, pretty too, tacks well, heaves to like a bird + have reached 13.2 knots. Now i want a 38 with 2 wingsail rigs to venture further. looking for encouragement, has anyone finished one in 2years?</p>
