I guess the question is where do you sail? Never sailed the chesepeake, my youngest son has, from what I have been told, it can be very shallow. Myself, I would not be bored, I am sure there is miles of shoreline to discover.

I sail in the PNW, the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands and Alaska. Never get bored out here. We have a 1980 C&C 36' that regularly sails in the 9K + range. It is currently up for sale, view it on craig's list seattle. Trading up to a Tartan 3800 not so much for the extra room just a newer design that should sail about or alittle better than the C&C.

I can easily sail the C&C by myself, its not the sailing, leaving the slip, anchoring or grabbing a mooring that is hard by yourself, it would be bringing it in the slip. Remember, sailboats don't have brakes, so current, wind direction and your speed are huge factors.

My advise, take up VincentVega's free offer, then when you tire of the ride, its your problem to get rid of it. Go get a boat and start sailing, enjoy.
