My dad used to own a sailboat, which was a high point for someone squarely middle class. We're talking a 44 ft sailboat.
These things are holes in the water who the fuck wants a boat
the upkeep alone - painting scraping replacing the anode every fuckin year.... it's a fuckton of work for a 'fun hobby'
The costs involved with boats is why I have a kayak instead.
I have two boat friends. One has a 20' sailboat, it's just under yacht size. The other has a dingy he built in his garage. The dingy gets far more use.
I do wish I had storage nearer the sea for it though. It's about 20-30 min walk from where we live now and need to get it moved to our new house at some point. Don't really have a suitable spot for it to go yet. Or it would be a pain to get in/out.
time to make a friend on the beach you can stash it with :D
I have wondered if there are any garages nearby. Not usually the cheapest of options though, and massively oversized for what you need to store a single kayak. Low 5 figures and may not even be in a good location.
