I just want to see what all of your boats got for Christmas.
My Getaway got a custom stainless steel motor mount from a guy in the land down under.
I was going to buy a cheetah but found his stainless for a little more and its alot better made.

I got a SPOT tracker to make sure my Tiger and me would be found in case we get lost in the shuffle :xmas: Merry Christmas to all my Beachcat buddies.

My friend Buddy Bill gave me a very heavy duty Chandler sewing machine mounted on a strong table and I will make my boats new custom covers.Rick set me up with plenty of Sunbella marine fabric(silver) and I order some V-92 thread from Sailrite. 😎

With this steep down turn in the economy,I had too much free time in 2010,but rediscovered just how much fun it is to solo sail my Hobie 21SE or my 16'.My 2011 work schedule is already looking nice and busy but my weekends will still be dedicated catamaran sailing...

Thanks to all my sailing friends for a great 2010 season. :xmas:

I got my wife some speedier shackles for her 17. I got a rash guard long sleeve shirt and can't wait to try it.

Santa doesn't bring much presents in Europe.
Since my birthday is the 31th I had a lot of presents, though my P 18-2 got a E-trex gps and a dry-bag for
its cellphone.

Happy new year and all the best in 2011 !

Andre

Gil Extreme insulated sailing gloves to enable her to get out on the water earlier this year while the water is still cold.

well on the first day of winter it got a serious butt kicking, hull-flying, workout.
then it got another one today. a 3/2 wetsuit, fleece jacket w/windbreaker and wool watchcap and we're all over it..... down the beach, hot coffee at the waffle house... and home again.

whoo-hoo!!! it was a beautiful day... air in thr 50s, water 50s, wind steady 10-15... kinda cold but who cares.
