Okay, a suppose this is a different type of garage than cars, but it seemed like the most appropriate thread.
I’m curious if we have any boat owners here. What do you have? How do you like it?
I grew up with my parents owning several boats, 2 Grady Whites, a Catalina 35’ sailboat for many years, and most recently a 2014 Sailfish 270 WAC- sold in 2020 due to awful fishing in Long Island sound due to climate change (plus they weren’t much in love with the boat).
My wife and I have been looking into buying a sailboat, with the intention of someday doing some bluewater sailing (ie Bermuda, down the Caribbean). Ideally a 44-50ft monohull with all the equipment and safety for offshore sailing. Given our schedules at the moment, we might start with something smaller and more designed for weekend sailing- less complexity to maintain, cheaper to dock, etc.
