HI All
I'm looking for a first sail boat. I do not currently sail I spend most of my free time on my stinkboat fishing. Dreaming of sailing and probably will just continue dreaming but I just might pull the trigger. I've been reading a fair bit over the last year or so and predominantly for inexpensive beginner boats people usually recommend Fiberglass over timber. I'm happy with slow and stable. I'm also happy with a nice enough cabin that I can take the Mrs onboard for a romantic sleepover. That ain't happening on my fishing boat lol Some of these old girls sure look nice in the pictures. Is the annual work required to keep them floating on a mooring that much more than the Fiberglass boat?

I don't have enough cash for any of these but they are so lovely to look at.
Am I sick?
