Scotty...it's pretty eveidnet that I am one of the old "guys"...I don't
think he meant it as a gender specific term....



I would probably be classified as an "old guy" also, since I'm nearing
retirement. Presumably, I will have more free time to spend on a boat
in the next few years, but somewhat less money.

Regarding the initial question, I notice that there weren't very many
responses assuring me that most boat owners sail frequently and
therefore get their money's worth from their boats. Is this a sensitive
subject that most sailors don't want to talk about?

No, it's a question that makes no sense. You equate more use with
better value for money. OK, fine, this works for you, but I suspect
most of us simply don't think of a boat like that and therefore the
question is irrelevant.
