I'm 26, bought my first boat, a Mason 30 (steel) when I was 24. It took me 17 years to save the money.. and 17 years of pining for this vessel. After an extensive single-handed tour of the great lakes I only met one couple of a similar age. Everywhere I go people assume this is my fathers boat...
Perhaps as the interest of my generation in sailing dwindles prices will drop.. Therefore drawing interest?? If not... empty anchorages!!

..and no marine infrastructure i suppose
