My wife and I took up sailing just last June. We started with dinghies and
then took the usual sequence of ASA classes. We don't own a boat, but we've
been sailing consistantly ever since. To make a long story short, the
sailing bug has bitten us hard.


Hey, try this URL. It is a pretty good article to read if you are
going in that direction. I have never lived aboard, but I found this
article very interesting:
