In my mind the reason to own a
mid/small size sailboat is the same a owning vintage cars or
motorcycles - to
keep them up and enjoy their traditional designs.


And this is why I'm smarter than you...and always will be. I want to
sail. I don't want to work on a boat unless I decide to work on boats
for money. If I wanted a traditional design, I'd seek out a RESTORED
boat with very few issues. I prefer sailing to rebuilding interiors as
Mooron was forced to do. I'm also smarter than you because I bought a
boat that sails fast and with a lot of responsivness; something missed
out on by a lot of old-time sailors.
Sounds to me like you need a lot of excuses to stay home and sand wood.
Come spring we'll be sailing 3-4 days a week or more! Keep us posted on
the "project boat."

"Hell, I'm a sailor. I'm glad someone works on those old boats. And
everytime I take my modern 43 foot glass racer out I'm glad it's not
me!"
