Our 1997 Tartan 3500 boat

[Tatrio]

We just locked in our first sailboat, a 1997 Tartan 3500 and everything's falling into place. Sea trial and final paperwork wrap up late August, then we're cruising from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland with two veteran sailors. The excitement's unreal, I keep waking up thinking about it...this is a whole new chapter, and we can't wait.

That's awesome, congrats! The 3500 is a wonderful boat and that Nova Scotia to Newfoundland trip sounds like a dream. Wishing you fair winds and smooth sailing out there.

Congrats on the milestone and you've made an excellent choice. The 3500 is a good and comfortable boat for sailing. And you've chosen a great cruise. I know you're still preparing for your first voyage, but I have to ask, where to next?

Good for you! I totally get the excitement, especially with the added adventure of sailing your new boat home. Can't wait to hear all the thrilling (and maybe messy) details, it's bound to be a great story.
