I'm a middle aged guy, soon to be retiring and have been planning to
purchase a sailboat now for a few years. Spent a lot of time researching and planning this, I think I will be ready in about a year to completely put my plan in action. Plan on selling the house and everything else, and living a board as well as seeing the world. I have limited sailing exp. I sailed some as a young man and owned
power boats. But this coming summer I'm gonna join our local sailing club where you can get
sailing lessons and use there available boats. I joined this forum hoping to meet some folks and get some
advice to help me on my way. -Cheers!
