would you think better of a guy who got divorced 15 years ago, and never dated anyone ever again?

I have to say, the majority of you blokes seem very happy with your current older models!

I can't believe the number of old farts I know who really should trade in their older models for younger, to give them BOTH a break from the misery of being together!

I just hope that when Skipper and I get old, we have grown together and are still as in love as many of you seem to be.

I am getting in a little late on this thread. I let the wife take all my stuff years ago. Pretty much all I got was the boat. I have had a younger model for some time and couldnt be happier. Poorer, but happier.

There are plenty of yachties still with thier first partner and plenty who are 2nd and 3rd timers. Does it really matter?

The only people we should be "Judging" are those damn punks on jet skis and the clowns on 50ft stink boats who make wakes the size of small tsunamis around moorings and anchorages

Cheers

Well, it's pretty easy to tell which sailors here think their spouses might read what they've posted.
