Hi everyone. I just hooked up to this conference, and wanted to introduce 
myself. I am 15 years old, and I sail every summer with my grandfather. He 
has 
a 16' catboat. We sail in Sodus Bay(off Lake Ontario). For those of you who 
are not familiar, a catboat is a sailboat that is half as wide as it is long. 
The mast is in the bow instead of halfway, and it was used primarily in salt 
water as a fishing boat. I LOVE to sail. Especially on a hot day... :) Well, 
I 
just wanted to give everyone a brief introduction of myself. Feel free to 
write. BTW: my grandfather has also built a couple sailing row-boats. They 
were pretty fun to sail too... :)
