And when you've finished that Blanchard, you can start on mine if you like .

We all worship her from afar, (because she tells us to ).

 What do you mean "from afar"?!?! I'm a married woman, I can't offer the "hands on" version!!

BTW, our very own BNS is an extremely talented designer, web mistress and photographer herself, and bilingual as well.  We all worship her from afar, (because she tells us to ).

Embarrassed Embarrassed Truly sorry cindi63, but we've had so many "genuine" spammers!

Since you are interested in sailing, welcome to the forum! There are quite a few female sailors here, who are on the water regularly and post even more regularly... I'm one of them 

I'm   years old and I attempt to sail a Contender, much to the amusement of every other member of Lancing SC, on the South coast of England.

Good luck with your restoration project and enjoy sailing in her when she's back to her former glory.

Don't forget to post photos of the work in progress!!

Another here!

We are getting a few more women sailors up here in Northumberland, but not many regulars. Still, quite often in the past year the ladies changing rooms have been full - a fantastic development. Dry suits have helped, although I am a steamer girl for preference.

Mostly not true but partly.   I own a web and software development company and UMU is a client.  When I have an appropriate place to promote them I do.   I think that is what sigs are for?  I also have all of my boats and watercraft insured by them and would never pimp a company I didnt believe in.   However I truly am interested in sailing and for me the old wooden sail boats....
