Up until a few years ago I did a heap of wave sailing (sailboards) and apart from the petrol costs chasing the perfect wind/wave combination and broken cars on beach tracks there was always broken masts, shredded sails and ripped wet suits - not counting broken bones and cuts needing attention.
I now have an "older" 30 footer and it seems cheap in comparison!! I keep it on a swing mooring, haulout is very reasonable here and I do most of the work myself and enjoy it!
