I had a 23' wooden sailboat back in 95-97. The only water it ever saw was rain and spilt beer. Sold it just to get it out of my sight. I love wooden boats but would prefer my neighbor buys one, so I could go over and watch but not have the responsibility of maintaining it.
A couple years ago I considered buying this Dart from the '20s but it would have consumed me (it was barely a pattern boat).
They are super rare and were built in Toledo for a few years by a company owned by Rutherford B. Haye's grandson. They were often used as "rumrunners" on Lake Erie during prohibition.



Here is a restored one. Due to the rarity, they are worth a fortune.
