I agree that your idea makes sense to you.....however you have to find 3-12 people that have the same idea. Good Luck.
We all want what we want when we want it! Not when we can get a bunch of other people to agree that it is OK for us to use it. In your case, with a very unusual boat for today, it gets even harder. Add to that the risk of others damaging a very expensive to fix boat, especially the week before your month starts, and things get very touchy.
You have not talked about maintenance costs and who does the maintenace. Slip fees, maintenace, etc. will probalby add 10-15% minimum a year, expecially in your beautiful and expensive part of the world.
I bought a boat and put it into a controlled charter business because I wanted to do a lot of day sailing and could not secure a slip for anything close to a reasonalbe price in my part of the world. Charter gave me a place to keep the boat, offset some of my costs, and still allowed me to do a lot of sailing on my own boat. Day sailing on 30-36' boats is not cost effective. However, if I was going to sail for a month a year, I would not buy a boat. Charter a boat anywhere in the world you want to go, select a newer or older boat based on what you want to pay, have no maintenace cost, mooring costs, insurance costs, and new toy costs....and walk away till the next time.
Your passion is this project, and now you need someone else with the disease to help fund your passion. Good Luck.
