Moorings says they will fix anything that the survey finds. Not sure if that is a big deal or not.

Re: Best sailboat to buy and use for 2 years (and get as much money back as possible)

I was thinking $10 for preventative maintenance on a good engine.

OK I lose 30,000 + sails and rigging and if an older boat engine tune up.

Re: Best sailboat to buy and use for 2 years (and get as much money back as possible)

Re: Best sailboat to buy and use for 2 years (and get as much money back as possible)

So the miserable part is the open ocean? That is why that is not a full day dream. Just an...

Best sailboat to buy and use for 2 years (and get as much money back as possible)

My minimum day dream is to buy a boat and sail a season in the Caribbean.

I am thinking 40 foot or greater.

If that goes well, I have other bigger day dreams like crossing the pacific.
