all right good morning everybody

good morning hey good morning jeff how

are you today i'm doing fine thanks for

asking good morning everyone

uh we actually had a question uh that we

received last time

from terry who wanted to know

uh jeff you often mention your catalina

why did you choose that boat that's a

great question terry

first of all thank you everyone for

joining us this morning

we've got another session of boating

tech talk

live kind of neat actually um

by the way some of sometimes it gets a

little bit busy during the questions

before i answer terry's question

i just want to emphasize when you're

writing your question or thinking about

your question the shorter you can make

your question the more concise

the easier it is for us to a read it out

loud so if it takes us three minutes to

read out the questions some people's

patients are going to run out

i remember there's a lot of us listening

so try to keep your questions so that if

i read it out loud it takes maybe 15

30 seconds at the most to read out the

question

because the most interesting part is not

just asking the question it's going to

be the answer

so keep your questions concise and it

increases the likelihood of us being

able to i read it out loud and answer

them

all right so excellent so terry why did

i choose a catalina

well so for some of you might know this

um i dreamt of owning a sailboat since i

was about my first memory since i was

about three or four years old i was

telling my parents that i'd have a

sailboat

and all along my life i was doing things

in school that would eventually

lead me to be here and

out of university graduated with did a

degree of applied sciences

and then i decided to look for a

sailboat and the first thing i wanted

actually and this is actually going to

be very related to youtube

i wanted to find a community i was like

this boating is too hard

um you hear the true story not the story

that's told by some people that just

want us to get into boating saying

everything is just going to be cherry

and rosy and everything's going to be

easy no none of that i wanted

i knew that it was going to be hard and

i said to myself

if i'm surrounded with other people that

are going through the same thing as i am

and the great thing with catalina

because

they actually do production runs of

boats that might last 10 15 years the

catalina

36 was built in 1986 i think was the

first haul maybe 84.

and it's it had a production run i don't

know how long maybe 20 years

there's a lot of halls there's over 2300

halls and there's a

forum a group of people that would share

ideas and

collaborate and talk about different

projects that we're doing how to

fix something that's broken and that's

actually what allowed me to get into

boating

and i felt safer i felt like okay i've

got a community of like-minded people

that are going to help me

if i ever have problems or i can read

about their problems because their

problems are my problems and here we are

on youtube sharing so my catalina was

just basically because they had really

active forms

and let's be honest the boat was also

very affordable catalina offers

a lot of boat for the money and i was a

kid when i bought that boat bought it

before the house

still don't have a house and that's why

i chose catalina so good question
