I'll probably be stoned for what I am about to say..
My first few boats when I was younger were sailboats......mono hull and the the Hobie. When I was in High School, a friend's family had a 40 ketch. I had the pleasure of sailing from Mystic to Block, Martha's Vineyard and many other points.
I own a powerboat now and enjoy it a great deal but those days of sailing will always hold a special place in my heart, as I see they do to Acres also.
The joy of boating with a sailboat was always the trip.......not the destination.
It is amazing the power some wood/fibreglass, lines, and cloth can do to leave such deep and lasting impressions.
Acres; here's to the memories. I can tell your boats meant a lot to you.
