While I am a member of the Glenmore Sailing Club, most of my sailing is West Coast. I mainly work out of Sidney.

Huken,

There are plenty of boats out there in the 20' range at about $3500 (American). They're in good shape, needing a little fixing, and seaworthy for short coastal cruising, long weekends, romantic night sailing. Just do it!
