My buddy in the BVI says there are lots of boats available there at a good price. Maybe I should sell mine and buy a sailboat down there to use as a cottage in the winter months. Not only does my buddy have his 'Six Pack' skippers license but he also has a surveyors license which could come in handy if I was looking for a boat in that part of the Caribbean. What you will get with a large boat of that vintage is an never-ending list of serious, expensive repairs that need to be made. Is that how it is with the boat you don't own? Imaginary boats require only imaginary repairs. Same is true of Ducatis. ....and barns. Stumps are maintenance-free. |

Not necessarily, my buddy lives on a Hughes 32 that was found high and dry inland after a hurricane. He did have to scrounge for a new (to him) motor and some rigging but he's had it for a number of years now. A couple of years ago he bought a 'project' Boat from another friend in the BVI who got tangled up with an American woman who took him back to the US. Vic uses the 2nd boat as his storage shed. He also has a 3rd sailboat...a 19' daysailor he sometimes used to give sailing lessons to tourists. |

I call it one step from homeless. Put a couple of them together and you've got a floating trailer park. |
