New Cal Owner

Hi,
New owner of a Cal 29 here in Lake Champlain.
Boat is in great shape, no beam problems etc. Only real issues are the cushions are a bit moldy and the wiring is messy (some of the electronics don't work).
To do list include reupholster, rewire, new electronics and a new rig set up for the Jib. Right now it just has cleats next to the winch, hard to do one handed :)
Looking forward to joining the discussion here...

Hi, I'm Charlie from Annapolis, MD. Congrats on you acquisition. A lot of CAL 29 people on this list.
We are all on a first name basis here (downright friendly group).

Well, maybe if you have an unusual name like "Charlie." For those of us
with the favored Cal name of Chris, we have to be a bit more specific.

What part of Lake Champlain? My brother lives in Burlington where he
used to have an old Bristol, but now has a small fleet of Force 5s and
maybe even a Laser--whatever sort of vessels he finds for $50 in
somebody's front yard. He's right on the Lake so it's easy to go sailing.
