Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! We are the "recently retired" couple that have just become the proud new owners of C250 #151, aka Someday Lady. We retired mid-2016 and got bit by the sailing bug last summer in the San Juans. We are fairly new to sailing so we plan to take it slow and take advantage of the knowledge and experience here on this forum. We had already signed up for sailing classes in early March, but this boat was too good to pass up and we were lucky she hadn't been snapped up already. The boat will stay in the driveway on the trailer until after we have completed our basic lessons. Our plan is for moorage on the Columbia River but keeping the trailer handy for adventures in the San Juans and beyond.

And if you ever get a chance for a face to face meeting with Henk and Johanna you won't be sorry if you accept (unless you have somewhere else to be in the next few hours!). What wonderful, kind, hospitable folks they are. And obviously very knowledgeable about the C250 and sailing in general.

We have just experienced a few days here of ice and snow. Bring on the spring weather and let's get in the water!!

Welcome Wayne and Lynn! There's no doubt you picked up a gem! I suspect you had to pass a "test" (whether you knew it or not) before Henk and Johanna would let her go to you. We look forward to hearing about your experiences with her.

Congratulations Wayne and Lynn! You are lucky to win Someday Lady. Not too long ago I was perusing Henk’s photos and was delighted to see all the wonderful and practical improvements they’d made. Fair winds and following seas to you and may you enjoy your newfound love for sailing and the freedom it brings. And the best way to master sailing after you’ve read all the books and have taken the lessons is like what they say about “how do you get to Carnegie Hall”: practice-practice-practice

Definitely welcome aboard! Henk wrote a number a articles when I was Mainsheet Editor, all accompanied with wonderful photos. We exchanged many emails, and I always thought meeting both of them would be a great way to while away a few hours. Unfortunately, the opportunity never arrived. There wasn't much free time during my only visit to Victoria.
