Hi,

I'm new to the list and am the current owner of a Contessa 26. I am considering down sizing and am very interested

in the M-17. I live in eastern North Carolina and if there is anybody near my area that might be willing to take me for

a sail, I would love it. According to the list most of the owners near to me seem to be in the Chesapeake area. I would

be willing to make a drive of 200 miles or so to see and possibly sail on one these boats.

Thanks very much.

Kirk Hill
