It was too much to handle at my age, too many strenuous situations on the water, too much hard work, and repairs.
It was either an apt or a motor boat, and that had its own repair & engine problems, and still had the weather against me.
An apt., with a mgmt co. to handle any problems so's I could relax & enjoy.... is best at this time in my life.
I loved sailing, but if I only had better health, strength, and stamina ..........
