"Yawn" is the response you would like to pretend is the case, but in my
experience, its not the truth. Boat owners I speak with DO concern
themselves with the fact that they pay their money to the marinas and
the insurance company and various other expenses, but can only sail
infrequently. Many of them seem to find their use tapering off over
time, and finally selling their boat after realizing they aren't using
it as they had anticipated. As I mentioned previously, I'm not saying
that this (time spent sailing per dollar spent) is the only, or even the
primary consideration. - Some people seem to enjoy owning a boat so that
they can talk about it on this ng. - But it is ONE factor that should be
taken into consideration, IMO.

I assume you've decided not to buy a boat sice you can't get anyone to
agree with your approach.

Nope. Wrong again.
