Neal, Joe's idea of bringing the boat closer to you isn't a terrible idea. If you could transport the boat closer to home, it could remain on the hard until you got the projects sorted out and then, moving forward, find a location, perhaps in the Finger Lakes or Southern Adirondacks that would allow more frequent use of the boat. My sister and her family sail on Great Sacandaga Reservoir in NY out of the Mayfield YC where membership and slip rentals are quite reasonable, plus the lake is over 25 miles long. There are a number of sailboats in the 30-35' range that sail in the area and most folks that keep their boats in slips are basically using the boat as a summer lake home. I'm not sure what your launching parameters would be (travel lift, hydraulic trailer, etc.) but there must be options for you somewhere in the middle part of the state.

I feel your pain - I tried keeping my boat on a mooring for free about 45 minutes from my house and the ability to keep up with boat chores declined a lot so I moved back the $$$ slip 10 minutes away. Is there any place local to you the boat could be? Joe Coquina Btw - the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a worthy place to donate a boat.

I live 7-8 hours away from my boat (it is in the Chesapeake and I am in central NY state). That is a long story in itself, but irrelevant. My boat (1982 C&C 32) has just had it rigging serviced or replaced as needed due to a yard incident and I have new floorboards that need their finishing (underside) completed, etc. etc. The boat means a lot to me and the family, but from what I hear, it is showing the fact it is neglected as we are not able to get down to the boat to keep her up. The boat hasn't been in the water since 2009. I don't want to, but am looking to part with the boat unless I can come up with another reasonable solution. I don't want to part with her unless it can go to a good home and/or donate it to a good cause. I have been told that she is worth less than $10,000 USD based on the Eastern shore of MD. Thoughts or interest? (Stu, I'll donate part of the proceeds of the sale to the list if it sells through here) Neil Neil Andersen 315-707-7905 (home) <mailto:neil.eric.ander...@gmail.com> neil.eric.ander...@gmail.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
