Some frequent questions answered about the crew and our sailboat !
How did you get into sailing?
My wife had suggested that we learn how to operate a "yacht" so that we could charter a boat with some friends. I took that to mean we should learn to sail ... she meant a power boat! Too late, once I started to sail, I fell in love with the sport and it quickly became a passion. We are all now sailors, and love it!
How did Resolution get her name?
Each new years eve, our family writes down our wishes, hopes and dreams for the coming year. We have been doing this since 2011. Over the years, we all increasingly made resolutions about sailing and one day owning our own boat .... our resolutions came to be, and we knew we had to call our new sailing vessel "Resolution" !
Why the Marlow-Hunter 37?
Good friends of ours have owned Hunter sailing yachts for years with great happiness and success. Then, in both my ASA 2013 and ASA 104 cruising courses were aboard a Hunter 33. I quickly became comfortable and very happy with the Hunter boats. To be sure, we signed up for a season with Sailtime aboard a 2014 Marlow-Hunter 37. It is an excellent vessel, and one that is a great fit for our family.
