My wife is 35 and I'm 36. She's the true sailor. We got out first boat together 5 years ago (1984 C&C 35 Mk 3). We moved up to a 1988 C&C 44 last summer.
Kari's boating history over the past decade includes: Chrysler 22 Newport 30 Tartan 41 She has our entire world travelling planned out thought it might take us some years to get started.
