I would like to taste the wood

[Alexandro]

Hello to everybody,
I am new in the forum. My name is Alexandro. I am from Spain, Madrid and I am moving to Suffolk in September with my family for one year or two.
I had always sailed in plastic sailboats ( I lived in a 44 feet in the caribbean sea for 3 years) and I would like to sail in a wooden one (I love them).
Can you provide me a reference wherefrom I can rent one or share a sailing day with someone ?
I am grateful for your replays

Hi Alexandro, welcome to the forum.

Perhaps some sort of crewing job would be good? Might be someone on here that could do with crew for the day.

If you are living in Suffolk for a year or two, should be plenty of time to build a wooden boat of your own

Have a look at this site for starters

Also, keep in touch in the east coast board of this website.

Thank you for your replays, I will check this options

Can I also suggest that you 'frequent' the East Coast Forum here at YBW. Lots of Suffolk and Essex based sailing discussed there and a few of us are also wooden boat owners.

Thank you tillergirl, I take note of your proposal
