No, it's actually a sailboat. It sank last year by wearing a hole in
its transom during a storm (Spring lines?).
It's in the 30 foot range but the new owner bought it for $1000.

Just think if Searay ever started making sailbotes.... then the balance
of idiots would once again be balanced...

95% of the time down here is Florida.... if something stupid is being
done... it's a searay owner... Especially the 50' plus types that
think the 15" wake limit doesn't apply to them...

Trust me, there are plenty of idjit sailors out there

Yes, but the powerboaters are so much more obvious about it.

And more dangerous!

You ought to get out and about a bit more. It might help remove or at least
diminish some of your prejudices.

I traveled and lived aboard a small sailboat for eight years and visited
many places, ranging from Canada to Bermuda to Cuba to The Islands. Of
course I met many people, and most were just regular folks. However there
were, from time to time, a few "offenders."

My experience was that, at least in the cruising community (which is what
this group is about), there were at least as many sailboat jerks as
powerboat jerks. Often the sailboat jerks were more offensive, since they
worked under the assumption that sailboat people were automatically smarter.
