Hey Froggy....if you really are serious about sailing away with the family,
it might be wise to move up to a bigger boat.
You like older boats...so check this out.http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...ft-sailboats-C...


Quite frankly, It is not that i like older boats, it is just that I am
cheap. I actually prefer newer boats because they have all the
advantage of previous knowledge. A friend who was buying a boat once
told me that he preferred "traditional" designs and I told him that
the ocean bottom was littered with traditional designs. What I'd
really like would be one of those folding trimarans but I dont have
$80,000 to spend on one. I once considered building an F-32 trimaran
but when I finally decided why I wanted it I realized a power boat
like my the Tolman Skiff fit the bill better which is why I built the
Tolman. After this trip to the bahamas, I will probably give the
sailboat to my daughter. If I want to sail, I have my 12' MiniCups
and can also use the 22' Hunter and the 2 Flying Scots our sailing
club has.
