Somebody ought to get a fleet of old mid-size boats together in a cheap

toward purchase) them to people who want to try the cruising life
without spending yrs planning.

That's a very good idea, although I bet the insurance companies would
have a field day on the liability front.

Two-footitis is rampant: you can get a Shark or a small '70s cruiser
(Mirage, Edel, Kelt, Tanzer) for very few dollars because the original
owners are retiring or moving up to trawlers or Beneteaus/Hunters and
nobody seems to want a boat that just sleeps three and has perhaps an
"exposed" head and a butane ring for a galley.

But they sail just fine up to 25 knots.
