Does anyone have sail boat recommendations for a couple in their 80s?
Frankly, my dad has a lot of trouble moving quickly and so much less
strength that he makes me appear to be Atlas. He has tried powerboats
twice but frankly he loves to go out and sail on Long Island Sound.

I am interested in sail boats with equipment or specifically
earmarked for the older sailor which are designed to allow those with
less strength to succeed. He could keep it at a dock to charge up
electrical stuff...


My first thought is cat-boat: A single sail, stable and the newer
designs are pretty good sailing vessels.
