...sob, sob, sob,...tears of sympathy for gas guzzlers!
Let's see.....for three hundred bucks, two years ago I bought from Fay's Boat Yard a used, 20 year old, 11' 11" Echo sailboat.
Cost for yearly registration - zero
Cost to insure - covered by homeowner's since it has no motor
Cost of fuel - the wind
Skill needed to operate - practice, practice...
.................................................. ....
If anyone is looking for a new summertime challenge, Craigslist Boston has an Echo for $400., with photos, in Winthrop, Ma. Google 'Echo sailboat', and it should be the first item.
