Re: Welcome to CarverYachtOwners.com!
Our boat, Finisterra, has approx. 1600 hours and is in great shape. We keep it waxed every six months and just had the bottom stripped, barrier coated and painted. I recently purchase a Sailrite sewing machine and my wife and I just replaced all of the eisenglass which is looking good.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Re: Welcome to CarverYachtOwners.com!
Don't be afraid. Get rudders straight. Idle speed. Never touch the throttles. Just forward neutral and reverse. Take you time. Do not touch the throttles or the steering wheel. You will be fine.
I bet if you asked one of your neighbors they would be glad to help.
Have you taken any power squadron courses. Highly recommended to take more than basics.

As you get more comfortable with how the boat reacts you can start adding some throttle to get the boat to react faster. It will come in handy on windy days!

I'm sorry but I'm new to this site and was wondering how to post a thread.
Thank you, Bob

Welcome.
Just go to the relevant section, and click on "post a new topic", give it a proper title, and type away!
Don;t forget to tell us about your boat and where you boat.
