My last sloop was a 26' shallow draft when I lived in Fla. Sold it to a guy with a bag of money. Not sure what he wanted it for but it's probably at the bottom now filled with drugs somewhere around Cuba.
Was definitely not an open water boat.

Last time in water 1990. Still have it. All original including lines and sails but dire need of TLC and a new owner. :( Emotional thing. Good times. :)
Re turtle, defied the laws of physics and intelligence many times as is my way. :D
Us, too. We learned on a Sunfish on the mighty Ohio to living aboard a Hunter 44 all along the SoCal coast. Great fun. Now, only a plastic model in the pool for grandson to play with. Great memories.
