After three season of single handed sailing, I was approached by a
young guy as my boat was taken out for winter storage. He loved her,
and he bought her.

One of the two happiest days of boat-stewardship.

Congrats, but some of us are less interested in the last day than the
next sailing adventure.

After 16 seasons, our lovely lady owes us nothing. The only thing I
would try to do is give her a reasonable next caretaker.

But she's still more than capable of supplying our needs for a few
years, so it's not a real issue for us.

You know, I never thought that was true. I was truly sad when I sold all of
the boats I owned, even those that were less than perfect. I know that was
true when the previous owner of my Sabre sold it to me. He hated to see it
go.
