I would take up VincentVega!

I started out on dingies in Scout camp and bought a Macgregor 21 a few years ago. The Mac was very cheaply built and not very well engineered but a very fun boat. It was cheap and the guy I bought it from claimed he had slept 4 people in it but I don't know how that is possible. I moved up to a C&C 27 (thanks in part to Notfarnow's comment a while back for drawing my attention to C&C's!). Old Cals, Pearsons etc are built well and cheap to buy. The East coast and South have killer deals compared to West coast pricing. You need to simply buy something and get started-like the Cal25 mentioned earlier!

As I write this, I am feeling the ache from taking my boat out yesterday on the Columbia to celebrate Father's Day with my FIL and have some fun at the same time. We had a perfect wind from the NW and sailed 4ish miles up and down river without a single tack!

Good times are ahead!
