The point is, binoculars are cheaper than the boat! But, eventually,
maybe I'll upgrade to a 30 feet plus sailing yacht or something...

I was just making light of the way your opening statement was phrased, not
knocking little boats. My personal theory on recreational boating is
E/F=1/LOA. (The amount of enjoyment versus frustration you get out of a boat
is inversely proportional to its size.)
