I am starting this project story about my retirement LRC (long range cruiser) project, this project is not for the average guy, but hopefully he may enjoy watching me do it . I started this project last October, I worked all winter on it, summer work is proceeding but at a slower pace. My target date for commissioning my updated yacht is late spring but more realistically mid summer of 2016. I have photo's of the project from day one till today, I want to post photos but have to import a safe RESIZER program so I can do that ( if you have a safe link for a download please send it to me).

Sorry for all the verbage but a little history on me, my past and what i am hoping to do in the future as it relates to boating and this project.

I am just short of 62 years old, I was put out of work last year by my employer due to several injuries to my hand, (mandatory STD/LTD not requested by me) 38 years for that employer. I started boating with a close friend when I was 13 years old, on long Island NY , south shore where lots of protected waterway and bays can be found, 14 foot open wood old boat with a rely old 18 Evenrude that ran well, we both got our USCG safety cards to make it legal in the 1960s and we both still boat.

More to follow, hope you enjoy following my project.
