Born in a port city in Russia,(apologising in advance for my bad English as it is my second language) now living in Sydney, I have been fascinated by boats from a young age and always wanted to have some sort of vessel, whether it be a tinny dinghy or a big yacht. This year, motivation struck me to get a boat and the path took me to getting an the #153 Investigator which is going to be named to "Lastochka" The Russian word the swallow bird.
I had bought firstly because I wasn't picky on what boat to get and the investigator was at an affordable price ($1150) and in floating condition giving me something to work on after my HSC. Secondly, I liked the fact that as mentioned in the "#90 Tikirri is back!" topic:
I had bought the I563 to also learn how to sail as I really like the sailing concept "Sailing is the most expensive way to get somewhere for free ". I have absolutely no knowledge on sailing but I'm very keen to learn and get experience and plan to be sailing around in the Sydney region including Hawksbury river.Wanted something sleep-able for overnight or several night stays with room for some scuba and metal detecting gear which the i563 certainly has a lot of for its size
Thank you on having me in this amazing forum, it will most likely be my main source of knowledge for the Investigator project.
