Why a sailboat? People your age are tired of the work involved with sailing and have transitioned to power boats.

Good question. We’ve discussed it. It’s possible that one day we’ll sell the sailboat and purchase a nice comfortable cabin cruiser or trawler for our coastal cruising, or doing the Great Loop. But for now, we want a nice comfortable sailboat suitable for coastal cruising, yet blue water capable enough for short ocean hops over to the Bahamas.
