In my mind the reason to own a
mid/small size sailboat is the same a owning vintage cars or
motorcycles - to
keep them up and enjoy their traditional designs.


And this is why I'm smarter than you...and always will be.

So you bought a paper-thin hull to sail in a cesspool?? If that's "smart" then
yes you are far smarter than I.

I want to sail.

Then why not buy a full-size boat you can sail to interesting destinations - or
if your crew can't handle such a boat then move to some decent reasonably clean
place? There are nice places where you can sail for hours and see nary a turd
or used condom afloat.

I don't want to work on a boat unless I decide to work on boats
for money.

Money? I thot you already had money?

. I'm also smarter than you because I bought a
boat that sails fast and with a lot of responsivness;

If I wanted speed and responsiveness I'd buy a jet ski and buzz dudes like you.
But I sail for relaxation. When I want an adrenaline high I do something
exciting.
