Andy B Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I am interested in sailing a Core Sound. I am located in northern Michigan. I've read a lot about them but I've never sailed one. I currently own a Sea Pearl 21, so I am familiar with and really enjoy the cat ketch sailplan (actually purchased from Steve W who post here, and I've seen his beautiful CS 20 mk3). I am considering adding another boat to the fleet to accommodate my large family (how cool would two boats camp0crusing be?!). My preference would be a Core Sound 20 mark 1, but I would be satisfied with testing out any of the core sound series. If anyone has a core sound in Michigan and would be open to having me join you for a sail please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul356 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Im in MIlwaukee, if that helps. Reacher is in Marinette/Menominee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks for the offer--I'm only 97 miles from Marinette as the crow flies. How ironic that the complicating factor in me getting over there to see a boat would be a large body of water ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hey Andy, I hope you are enjoying WildCat, or whatever name she has these days. I really was sad when you pulled away with her. She was 13 years mine and if she could talk she'd have a lot to say. I don't have much to add, but there is a classified page here that occasionally has a CS for sale. Also, I'd act quick on getting a boat for the kids. That family will grow fast. I thought WildCat would sail with Skeena piloted by my boys, but the build took too long and away they went.

Reacher Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Andy, if Marinette works for you send me an email through this site with a contact number. We’ll set something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePoint Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Reacher, I would enjoy taking a drive over to Marinette some day this summer to meet you and see your boat. You’re about 2 1/2 hours from my home... about the same distance I drove to meet Thrillsbe (while on vacation in North Carolina last month) and to see his naval yard... (driveway). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Padre, yes, it would be good to sail with another Core Sound owner. I haven’t had the boat in the water yet this summer but that could happen in the next few days. I will let you know. Andy B, I would be good with driving to Gladstone or Manistique if that would help your planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePoint Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Reacher, I am vacationing with family until the end of June (it was kicked down the road last year) but I have a very open calendar for July. Maybe sometime then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Reacher--thanks much for the invite. We haven't set a lot of plans for the summer yet but we often make it to the UP and if we do I will send you a message. Steve W: Yes, still very much enjoying the Sea Pearl, and yes, she's still named Wildcat! Your improvements/inventions are much appreciated. She made it into lakes Michigan and Huron last summer, I only need to add Superior someday to complete her list! And you are right about buying instead of building, the kids grow too fast.
