Okay I'm no sailor but isn't 15' a little small for an ocean vessel? Wouldn't a boat like this be better suited for a lake or bay? How small a boat do people (intellegent, experienced sailors) sail with in the ocean (or even the Gulf of Mexico)? I am quite curious about this as I maybe be moving to the coast in about a year and was considering taking up sailing but I'm not a rich man so I won't be buying any 65' yacht. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
