Guys and Gals,
I'm a new owner of a 74 e 27. Its currently in the water and the previous owner couldnt tell me when the last time it was hauled out. It appears to be fairly dry, but there was some water in the bilge but I'm not overly concerned because no one had been on the boat since last summer.
I am a pilot and there are many similarities between sailors and pilots. Being a fairly new sailor, I am trying to approach this as I would as a pilot. Safety first, need to have, and then nice to have. There are no manuals with the boat, but I have been able to get some good info from this web site. What I am wondering is there anyone out there that has developed check lists for operating their boats. I can see a need (at least for me personally) to have a check list for starting the engine and just entering and leaving the boat. So, if you have one already or if you have thoughts or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark S.
