I know it's futile to seek consensus as to a make of boat. But, I'm
seriously considering renting for a variety of designs before
buying. Has
anyone else rented a sailboat. Pros and cons? Good locations around
the
Chesapeake? The closest place to my old sailing grounds is in
Jersey.

I looked at some of the rental sailboats and of course, like everyone
else I have an opinion. I would suggest the catalina 30. It has more
room inside than any 30 I have every been on. Also if you like it and
decide to buy there are some incredible deals available.

They're good boats. A good friend had one up until recently. Sold it for
more than he bought it for, but he did put in a of work on it first.

Renting before buying is absolutely the best way to figure out if you want
to buy a particular model, and it gives you an excellent vehicle to discover
in general what you like or dislike about certain "features." Gives you some
variety too.

As I get older I'm beginning to appreciate the philosophy that everything is
life is borrowed, rented, and essentially, not really mine. So it might just
be a question of which is less expensive, to rent and leave all the work to
others, or buy and have the short term satisfaction of being the lord of a
tiny domain.

You could always find somebody who wants to share...problematical if you
don't get along, but worthwhile if you balance each other out on costs and
usage, etc.

Yep. I'm getting ready to get rid of my boat, but not being too bright, I'm
talking to a friend about buying his boat.
