Hi B-man,
As a new member and an old sailor, ( I own a Z32, 3 Litre speedboat):burnout: , may I respectfully suggest that in answer to your question,
"So what do we need to do to reach my objectives John ? ",
perhaps a visit to your Bank followed by a second, to UAS, could see you in a Z32, with a considerably improved chance of achieving that lofty goal. :P
Ahhh!....The sweet smell of the salt air...the crash of the waves
