Sailboat Reboot


Spencer
I grew up on the East Coast on the South Shore of Long Island Sound (i.e. the North Shore of Long Island.)  My  son Spencer has taken several sailing courses and loves to go fast.  He is currently a programmer analyst for Sentry Insurance in Madison. My other son Trevor lives in Arlington Heights, IL.

We used to race my Catalina 42 MK II wing keel sailboat.  Now I live aboard and cruise it full time.  The boys join me when they can.

Reboot
You can get a sense of our boat by visiting the Catalina Yachts web site by clicking on this link.  If you are into sailing you can also look at some of their newer and bigger boats and drool as we do!  Of particular interest is that the 42 has 6'8" of headroom in the main cabin and 6'4" of headroom in the forward cabin.  Since I am 6'6" tall being able to stand up in the main salon is a big deal.

REBOOT is federally documented and licensed for high frequency (long distance) radio communications.  She also equipped with a digital calling capable VHF radio.  For you sailors here is the contact information:

We are also members of the Catalina 42 International Association.  This is an owners association.  The web site is (here.)  You might take a few moments and browse their web site just for fun.

As a full time cruising sailor I also am a member of the Seven Seas Cruising Association.  This is a group of people who either live aboard or hope to live aboard a boat sometime in the future. I am also a member of the Ocean Cruising Club, a group who have made an offshore passage of at least 1,000 nautical miles.
