How crazy of an idea is that?

Biggest craft I've sailed is a Sunfish.Pretty muchthe smallest boat you normally see on a lake.So this would be a huge step up.

BTW, Im on Lake Champlain.

Figured live out of it for as many months as I can, and pick up a roommate in my apartment so rent will be cheap. I have a 2 bedroom, but its only me at this point.

 

hmm i dont kno much about sailboats but they never looked to safe to me. arent they really narrow?

 

we need pics

 

Not safe looking because they have a big mast and they lean a bit in a good wind?

Hows this for counterweight. The rudder in the back to steer this one weighs 500lbs.

I've never thought of a sailboat as unsafe, except for those couple times on the sunfish when i wasn't paying attention and smacked myself in the face with that lower piece of tubing on the sail frame.

 

how are you going to live in it? what about running water, electricity, and whatnot? will you run wires and fresh water from your apt.?

 

that's a totally different beast from a sunfish. sailing a sunfish is a BLAST and prolly the easiest boat to sail. i don't think i'd want to do it.

 

gone into the wild

 

the boat has solar panels, deep cycle batteries, a shower, stove....

 

Dude, it's a boom. Just call it by it's proper name.

We have an wooden 27 footer we keep near Rock Hall MD, It's a blast. once I get enough $$ I'll definitely be buying my own. Sailing is way cooler than powerboats, once you try it......

 

checked out the boat. not all i had hoped for, but probably what i should have expected for 30 years old and $3k. I'm thinkin on it.
