new boat

Hi I am a new convert to sailing, having been a powerboat owner in the past. Spent one weekend sailing and bought my first sailboat, a new to me 2000 American 14.6. Love the technical end of sailing, much different from pushing the throttle lever.

I am looking to buy a new boat and this cough my eye for two reasons. It is on my budget and it has a shoal draft since eventually I am planing to do long cruising and possibly Caribbean. However I could not find almost nothing about Morgan 40 online and not sure if it is well built and what...

Sorry for this question, I'm a newbie and I'm sure this has been asked before, but perhaps new thoughts? Looking for a sturdy sailboat for my wife and myself. Will be in salt water, primarily on the Intracoastal and coastal on the outside. Will be based on Florida East Coast, Space Coast area...

Good Morning All, Now, at 31 years old, I finally purchased my first sailboat. I've crewed on many boats through the long island sound, Florida and the Caribbean from pleasure cruising to a few deliveries. Yesterday, after all this time of not owning my own sailboat, or having the ability to...

I'm looking at a 1980 Cape Dory 27 and a 1971 Tartan 27 I plan on sailing single handed most of the time. My wife and kids will sail less...

Hey, I am a seattle resident I am going to buy a boat and move aboard by march next year. I need some advice on which boat to buy. my price range is 30-40 max. I want to sail around the san juans and hopefully some time down to cali or up canada. I like the way island packets are set up but most...

I'm new here, so I wanted to both introduce myself and my new boat. My name is Seth, I'm 23, and I've grown up on the water. My parents raised me on a lakehouse on Lake Lemon here in Indiana. I have spent my entire life waterskiing and boating here, and often traveling to florida to go fishing...
