Default Any yacht brokers hang out here?

Tom,

Every time fuel costs go crazy, sailboats come back in style.

I do not know what upgrades you had in mind, but since wooden boats are
a specialty market, I rather doubt that they would bring back the cost
at sale.

If you do not have wooden boat all over the house, barrow one and read
the classified in the back.

preparing a 41' wooden sloop for sale one of these days, and I have some
questions about certain upgrades that I'm thinking about doing. I'm
wondering if I can get some informed opinions about whether the cost of the
upgrades would pay off, either in terms of making the boat more attractive
for sale or getting me a better price.

Thanks,
