yr right. which is why I was thinking that even if I spent a few grand over
the summer, I'd get a chance to live on a boat for a week at a shot and really get a feel for it. Of course, I'm not so sure there are many high end boats available. OTOH, I really can't afford a high end boat. So maybe it'll work out just fine. "katysails" wrote in message ... It's common practice...after all, you really are in the market (sort 0f)...just don't insist on all day events... "Scout" wrote in message ... "John Cairns" wrote in message . com... "Scout" wrote in message ... 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. www.southriverboatrentals.com Scout Wow, those are some fairly steep rates. A lot cheaper to look at boats, then convince the owner for a test sail before consideration. John Cairns Thanks, that's a good idea John. I wonder, though, how long it would be before my picture with a line through it is hanging on every dealer's bulletin board. Scout |

I have a Catalina 27 on Lake Lanier you can use for a week. Can't promise wind tho. JR |

Actually Scout you should take him up on this. Lake Lanier is really nice, lots of small islands to visit. On sunny weekends it is packed with morons trying to kill each other with motorboats, but on weekdays or cloudy days it's great. DSK |
