Re: Nice blurb on why NOT to buy a blue water sailboat
Interesting video by someone overly opinionated, and those opinions focus on money.
He seems to ignore the fact that some people have so much disposable income, that spending several hundred thousand dollars/euros/etc. is not a problem. I thank those people; they help keep economies going. If I were one of them, I would offer the fellow a ride on my brand new, built for me, 57' sailboat.

If I had a lot of money I still wouldn’t get a large boat. Thirty two maybe, for ocean crossing.

Another example of the 3 S.W. rule. Some Will. Some Won't. So What. There is no correct answer that works for every boat owner. What's important is to sail

If I had too much money I would get the MacGregor70. Too large, too stupid, too cool!
