Jim,
A question - does time spent on the boat working on it count as sail time. I currently have a 3 or 4:1 ratio of work time on the boat versus sail time. But then since I bought a fixer-upper I knew the boat required this commitment. As for total time on the boat I have a rule to get to the boat at least once a month; I live 4 hours (260 miles) away and with family and work obligations that is all I can manage currently. After retirement, a few years away, I hope will be a different story.
