vack, come down to NC, and I'd be happy to take you out on my sailboat, a 1977 Bristol 29.9. The boat is everything I need. I cruise, I race, I tinker.
I won't be rounding cape horn in that boat, but it can take me up and down the entire east coast, through the entire Caribbean chain, and even out to Bermuda. Its a strong, safe, well built and beautiful boat.
The 35 year old Yanmar diesel runs beautifully, and I baby it just like I do my Aero's.
You *can* be pragmatic in boat ownership. I can afford my saabs because I do all of my own work on them, its the same as on my sailboat. It's hard to justify a sailboat on economic terms, but I find it hard to justify my Saabs too.
You're either a sailor or you aren't. if you are, there is no substitute. I've been sailing for 20 years, but I've had the bug for 45. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner. Come down to NC for a weekend and find out if you are! email me.
