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...

TIA,

I wonder if a modified version of the 'Sail Able' boats used by
handicapped people would help?

Don, very cool sailboat. They are not wheel chair restricted or even
close. But I like some of the design features.

I will share the boat with them but think they will think it too small
and designed for folks with different issues.
