I'm currently 209 lbs and 5'11" tall. The weight is dropping though, as
I've lost 20 lbs in the last five months. My goal is actually 185, so we'll
see where it winds up.
I am finding already that you guys are much more 'on the ball' than other
'build and sail' classes I've seen which is a very refreshing change.
Thanks for pointing out the calendar on swiftsolo.com, I had not seen that
previously. Can anyone explain to me the differences in the websites? I
know the single-handedskiffs.com is active and has timely news, the
swiftsolo.org site looks great, and I've found some good info there too.
Are these all 'sanctioned' sites or are some of them builders sites (like
catzooks)?
