You could always find somebody who wants to share...problematical if you
don't get along, but worthwhile if you balance each other out on costs and
usage, etc.

As I get older I'm beginning to appreciate the philosophy that everything
is life is borrowed, rented, and essentially, not really mine. So it might
just be a question of which is less expensive, to rent and leave all the
work to others, or buy and have the short term satisfaction of being the
lord of a tiny domain.

Renting before buying is absolutely the best way to figure out if you
want to buy a particular model, and it gives you an excellent vehicle to
discover in general what you like or dislike about certain "features."
Gives you some variety too.

I know it's futile to seek consensus as to a make of boat. But, I'm
seriously considering renting for a variety of designs before buying. Has
anyone else rented a sailboat. Pros and cons? Good locations around the
Chesapeake? The closest place to my old sailing grounds is in Jersey.
