A day doesn't go by that I hear someone say that if they were retired or rich they'd buy a sailboat. If you wish to sail than start the process today. The truth is that if you can afford to eat breakfast at McDonald's than you can afford to own a sailboat. Sailboats can be found on-line or at almost any marina at a price you can afford. Do not allow any salesman to convince you to buy a boat beyond your means or capability. If you are new to sailing than consider a trailerable boat. Many of these can be picked up for a few grand, stored at your home and are simple enough that you can maintain yourself.
We see far too many sailboats at marina's that are never leave the docks. When we investigate we find they are seaworthy but either too costly to run or are too complicated for one man to safely handle. Often captains will tell us that they assumed their grand children or wives would love to sail with them but in fact were not interested.
Enjoy sailing for the wonder it is....own a boat small enough that your freinds and family can come on board with you but not complicated enough that you cannot sail it alone.
What would you enjoy more? A boat you bought for a few grand that you can sail and fix yourself or a glittery monster that requires a huge loan, endless maintenance and a skilled crew to operate?
