Some people sail boats and some folks pamper them. When comparing boats, remember that most only get about 15 days a year off the dock. Those boats should look good. Those of us who get hundreds of days a year on the water rarely have boats that look like the dock queens. There is a great Editorial concerning this subject in this month's Good Old Boat. As the guest writer Dave Martin says "That's the advantage of owning an ulgy boat: you weed out the boat snobs right away."
