Default ...there's always sailing!

For about six hundred dollars you can usually find someone's old 14' fiberglass fixer-upper complete with a main and a gybe. Usually, they belong to someone from Moultonborough who got too old, too fat, too lazy, or has a bad back and the sailboat has sat out back, unused, and it's time to sell.

Let's see, which is more of an adrenillan rush; hanging on to the steering wheel inside an 8000lb, 550hp, 32' gofast doing 75mph in a straight line or keeping a 15', 200lb sailboat w/ two sails trimmed out in a 10mph breeze?
