As much as I love a good motorcycle forum, the OP and Jeff's posts resonate with me.
When I was a very young boy, I hated sailing. My father dragged me to the boat and I was deathly afraid of any kind of wind. I was 9yo.
I learned how the boat went at 9yo, and I met 2 friends when I turned 10, both were sailing "kids" with their own boats (snarks, one a sandpiper, another a wildflower). I can still remember Foster and Richard, their faces, and us stealing away to an island, taking sodas with us. The freedom was on a wide tether of course, within the cove of the marina, but the freedom is granted was real, and tangible to a then 10 yo. When I turned 11 I got my own Snark to sail, sadly, Foster and Richard were no longer members. I was knee deep into crewing for Dad then. I was with Dad when he sold his 19 foot Montego (brand new in 1979), and bought a brand new US Yacht 27 in 1981, I was so excited for him and for myself to be crewing on such a "large" boat, it was his first "big boat."
Dad and I sailed a lot on a couple other boats. My interest in sailing waned, and I got married, had a child, and was working 60 hour work weeks with 10 hours of driving a week, and life was chaotic for several years (7)?
When I wanted to buy my first "adult" boat before my daughter was born my new wife loved the idea. She even sailed with me twice, and we had a good time. A friend bought a similar boat I had a Capri 14.2 and he a Holder 14. Him and his wife and me and mine it was fun.
Our daughter came, and the wife resented any time I spent "sailing." I eventually gave it up to raise my daugther.
Marital problems eventually started to eat into things, and the boat (which I had given to my sister) magically had come back into my possession. I started to sail again, my daughter was now 5. I loved that boat, but it was a trailerable and a lot to rig and launch and sail, it was only a 14 footer, but 45 minutes to rig and launch and same to derig, and I wanted something better. I was going to sell the boat, trade it for a NEW (brand new) Capri 22. My marriage was a more pressing problem though, and fortunately I did not buy that boat.
2 years later, a divorce the sale of my 14.2, and my new girlfriend gave me the money (from the sale of her house to move in with me) to buy a "used" Capri 22. I had forgotten how great it was to have a boat in a slip, where you could hop on and go for a sail anytime! I got addicted to sailing again, and my new wife understood my new (old) obsession. She didn't sail much with me, but she understood why I did. She REALLY took on my passion, and I started to really eat up sailing speed and sail controls. I moved to a Capri 25, started racing, then an S2 7.9 (that another member here has now), and now to a wavelength 24. I am still into speed, but sailing is a lot of work to get the racing boat in and out (mostly alone). I can race it, but its a lot of work. The boat sails better than anything I've been on.
My passion for sailing is as strong as ever, just the look and feel of what it is is coming back around again. I want easy, and comfy, but I won't give up speed.
For the record, my daughter, who now has sailed with me since she was 6, understands sailing, and enjoys it, and has NO fear getting out in nearly any type of weather. She's sailed and crewed for me on all of my keelboats (Capri 22, 25, S2 7.9, and the Wavelength 24).
I've also taken to the BVIs and taken my wife, we've sailed on a Catamaran, and a mono, and enjoyed the hell out of it.
Like Jeff said, and the point of my drivel is that a boat is a boat, not your love of sailing. Don't ascribe to the boat the love. If you grow and evolve your love of the "Sport?" I believe "Sport" is an ineffective description by the way, then your tastes likely will change as well. It doesn't always go with 2 foot itis, sometimes it goes to faster, better, easier, etc. Many downsize their boats, and upsize their fun.
Anyway, sure sell the boat. Keep sailing. Charter, or day sail, or rent, or crew for others.
Many will think this is odd, but my current location is Bedford, VA. I looked for work near as I could get to get to a decent body of water, with preference towards water I could keep my boat in year round. yes you heard right, I LOOKED FOR WORK near bodies of water! It too me nearly a year to find it, but I did do it. The goal was "warmer" then PA, and a better job for my career. I did both. I found Smith Mountain Lake, which of course isn't perfect, but its a helluva sight better and bigger than where I was. 2 foot itis MIGHT get me. I am looking presently at a C&C 32 that is calling my name.
Someday I'd love to be on the Chessie, but that too is a taste that may change. Who knows.
But my move also meant getting out of a poisonous job situation, warmer climate, more acreage for my dogs and horses, and actually a slightly slower lifestyle. Getting bigger water, close by lake (30 minutes) was icing. I just had to sacrafice a lot of my retirement, and deal with a lower salary to get there (yes it is a better move for my career go figure).
So I strongly urge you to think about what works for you, don't give up a love (sailing) for the love (of your life). Everyone needs a hobby/distraction, and it truly will and can strengthen the other love if you understand that your other love doesn't have to be involved to appreciate your love of them both. Sorry sailing was an excuse to ruin my first marriage, so its a very personal subject, and I fear that may be where you are and you are trying to convince yourself you aren't.
If sailing has truly bored you, that's all well. If you are trying to convince yourself it has, that's another thing all together.
