If you can't enjoy sailing for sailing's sake and if
you have to "visit"

If all you want to do is sail, get a scow. A scows, 38 ft, 1900 lbs,
held the speed record for the best part of a century. If you want
something faster you spend about a mill, maybe much more, for a high
tech catamaran. If the hundred grand [without sails] A is too pricy,
they make scows as small as 16 feet.
