In this case your best bet is " Other Peoples Boats ". OPB's are really inexpensive to enjoy. If you learn how, you can even get paid to use OPB's. Cost of docking a 125' schooner at the Hilton resort and marina, with shore bathroom, gym, pool, and spa privileges, $10,000 a month. Cost to deckhand who's getting paid to watch the sunset, -0-. Ocean front property in Kaneohe bay, If you have to ask.... but if your willing to share a boat with juvenile delinquents, plus get $1700 a month in spending money. $120 per gallon epoxy paint, owners problem.

Plus you'll meet all kinds of interesting people. You'll hear about great deals on other boats. You'll learn a lot about maintenance and sailing. You'll get plenty of offers to cruise for free, and offers to boat sit in exotic locales.

After a few years, on OPB's you'll be in a really good position to get your own boat, with out getting screwed or winding up in over your head. And you can start now. One weekend a month, two weeks every summer, so to speak.
