| Weekend Warriors - What Did You Spend this Year?
Tomorrow I have to go move the boat for haulout and winter storage. But I did get a hard half year of sailing out of it this year in the northeast and liked it enough to continue the learning curve and planning. Being my first boat and just to mess up my mind I held track of how much my hobby cost me this year. Not counting boat payments themselves I've spend $7495 on the boat, and after I pay the rest of the winter storage bill it's going to be around $8400. Looking at it the biggest costs were boat storage (mooring and winter storage) which were about $3400 combined. My next was the getting off the sand bar the first time I went out ($1600) that hope not to repeat (have insurance for this now). I do have some projects that need doing, only a couple that are "must do" and which are mainly cheap labor jobs for me. In the end I spent almost the same last year taking lessons and joining a sailing club. Just wondering how everyone else made out? |
