I was assuming there would be something other than sailing to build an enjoyable working life around. I realise I'm fortunate, not everyone has the opportunity, but it's taken years (decades actually) to get it right.
Sailing at weekends is the perfect contrast to balance it all out. Thumbs Up And no, I wouldn't want to do it full-time either.

Runs major risk of bus man's holiday.... I know I barely sailed for fun when I was instructing as a teenager. I know people who have jacked in the rat race, moved to the mountains to get in on the ski industry... They never go on the slopes anymore!!!

Find what you love to do, and make it your job, even if it takes a lifetime to find.
Being able to afford whatever boat you want is poor compensation for doing a job you hate!

Looks like a boat with a cover on, on a trailer? Blowing dogs off chains right now, sure (we all) hope a sail is in the offing sooner rather than later.

Now safely tucked away in the warehouse.




Kaboom, welcome roger!

work out how you are going to pay for your sailing addiction without work.... then realise that the concept of a career (work mojo) sucks, and that the slow drift into averageness enables you to put play first, work second without sacrificing enough readies to make it all possible.  LOL

What about the Catapult as a packable sailing boat? Any other suggestions for a two person packable?

After last year's holiday torture of looking at loads of beautiful Swedish, German and Dutch lakes and not having a boat to sail, I'm considering looking for something that would pack into the van or on a roofrack to avoid the high costs on ferries and bridges. For example The Bridge (as on TV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98resund_Bridge ) jumps from 46 euro to 92 euro with a trailer so the savings can be considerable.
