Captbillc - I am only 40, but my wife and I hope to be still sailing when we are 87! Her grandfather just bought a new chainsaw, at 82, as he still cuts / splits all of his own hardwood, as well as runs the tractor, big garden etc.
We hate seeing parents and friends, who are only in their 50s and 60s, who have basically given up on being active, and complain that they can't do anything anymore.

Then, an 87 year old sails by us, with the rail in the water, and we know (or at least hope) that will be us someday too!

Fair winds!

PS. like (maybe not love) my boat too, and certainly know her inside and out!
