- 1977 Hatteras 42 LRC
Hi to all of you in these forums. I am a well-seasoned very knowledgeable boater. I have built several boats over the course of my lifetime including a trawler. I just sold the trawler that I built to my nephew because my wife can no longer easily board the boat safely.
My trawler was 26' with many features only found in larger boats like controllable pitch propeller, bow thruster, stabilized and high tankage. I was sad to see my boat go but my nephew is just ecstatic, so be it. Part of growing old gracefully is knowing when to make life changes to cope with age instead of hanging on kidding yourself.
I have signed an agreement to purchase a Hatteras 42 LRC that is in need of TLC and I am capable of bringing this boat up to my standards. I have hit no showstoppers in the purchase process, so I am going forward with the purchase.
My reason for joining is that I now intend to cruise, and the boat is currently 2,500 miles from home. I will be bringing it back on its own bottom in the spring. I have not recently boated a lot and want to get back into networking to accomplish my needs and goals.
I have a tremendous amount of knowledge but always seek more. Thank you for reading my introduction
