Once you own a used sailboat, there's www.faysboatyard.com in Gilford ...... the place to go for all types of sailboat replacement parts and items .... .

And, sailboats in N.H. that measure less than twelve feet, not including the rudder and gudgeons do not require a N.H. boat registration.
No doubt sailboat prices have gone up, but they are still way cheaper than power, especially after you think about maintenance and gas. Fay's does have a great selection, and they make it easy for a rookie to get started
