Generally, free sailboats can get very, very expensive.

Lots of free ones available. If you are looking for a little daysailer and have lots of time to restore a boat that won't later be worth what you put into it in cash and sweat then I can show you a little Schock in Socal that needs a home too!

Do you still have this boat? I am insterested in finding anyone that has a boat they are trying to rid themselves of for free.

I love your "profession" on your profile--"ANNOY FOLKS". Wasn't that your job on active duty as well?

your post read very good and got more interesting especially reading, hetero-sexual, blue eyed, blond and then came the kicker "male" as it was missing the FE in front of it, so I'm no longer interested in the boat, free or not.

If you are really looking for a free sailboat, walk the docks of your local marinas. Most have a number of boats which have not moved in many years (looking at the bottom growth will give you a good indication). Chat to the harbormaster - they may be happy to have somebody remove or pay for a boat which has sat there for a long while without slip fees being paid...

However, most importantly, listen to the 'dog. There ain't nothing so expensive as a free boat.
