>Has anyone done it? Is it the dream that it seems like?
i've been sailing my entire life, it's a very enjoyable sport. also, one of my camping spots is exclusively accessible via sailboat. i must traverse a harbor, navigate a shallow cove, park on the beach, cross a marsh, and enter a small forest. you should consider buying a used club 420 or similar, which can be had for approx $1500. be prepared to spend about $250/yr replacing lines, cleats, cotter pins, etc., to keep it in top shape. you do not need to moor it.

>a hole in the water surrounded by wood into which one pours money
it's actually not that expensive to get into. my cousin is a professional sailor who restores his own boats. him and his gf go all the way to the caribbean (from MA) a few times a year. if you're looking for an ultra-cheap entry point, a user laser (fun) or opti (boring) is a good choice. JY15 is somewhere in the middle.

Has anyone done it? Is it the dream that it seems like?
