    Hi Kevin and Clare,

    We're Kathleen and Roland, located in Buffalo, New
    York, USA. We're in year 2 of a 3 year plan.

    We live on our 41-footer from May to September, and
    will leave this coming May for the Caribbean and
    beyond.

    Best of luck and if we may be of help, please don't
    hesitate.

    We also have started a website, some info regarding
    alterations, preparations, etc. is (scan right to find
    pages beyond cover) available at
    http://www.freewebs.com/sv-mladykathleen/

    Best of luck!

    Kathleen and Roland
    S/V M'Lady Kathleen
    Home port: Buffalo, NY
    41-foot Coronado
