I'm 24 and just picked up an '87 Hunter 23. Three more full weekends of work and I think she'll be ready for the water (I hope).

My dad was a sailer growing up. My mom could take it or leave it. They had a San Juan 21 and then an Ericson 32 for most of my teenage years. I was apathetic to sailing during most of that time, something I really regret. I liked it, but never really go into it. My dad sold the Ericson because no one really cared for sailing except for him. As I am sure you can imagine, he is ecstatic now. I hope we make it out on the water before January.
