Wht not just get yourself a diesel powered sailing vessel that's maybe in
need of new rigging, talk the price down, ... and then derig it? That's
what I'm thinking down the road ... the stability that keel provides really
appeals, plus the economy, the space, the efficiency through the water, and
so on.


Getting a bit creaky, new hip etc. We (my wife and I) are looking for a
power boat in the 43 to 56 foot range.
