Hello All,
I have been following this group for a while now as my wife Nancy and I are
planning to go cruising in about a year and a half. I have been incredibly
impressed with the members of this group, your knowledge, well-stated
opinions and capacity for civil debate. Although you know it not, you have
all had a great influence on me in my continuing journey from wannabe
cruiser to beginning cruiser. Thanks to all.
Within a few months, I am going to start looking for a boat in earnest and
would like to get your learned opinions on yacht brokers in general, what to
watch out for in a broker, whether to broker at all, etc. Most importantly,
I would be very appreciative of recommendations of good brokers you may have
first or second-hand experience with. Nancy and I currently live in Kansas
and are trailer-sailors (18.5' Laguna Windrose) and would like to purchase
our boat in the Florida or Gulf Coast area, or even East Coast or Caribbean.
Once we buy the boat, we will probably keep it at a marina on the Gulf Coast
(I have family in Mississippi) until we move aboard, and for a few months
after while we get used to the boat and perform any upgrades and
modifications necessary. Once we are comfortable with the boat and our own
abilities, we will begin a leisurely journey south to the Caribbean and
beyond to destinations as yet unknown.
Thanks,
Patrick and Nancy
