It goes without saying that sailboat owners love to sail, but there’s many a skipper who gets equal enjoyment out of maintaining a vessel so that it’s always ready to put to sea and a cozy safe haven in which to relax when the voyage is done. It’s hard to excel in the art of seamanship, after all, without a sturdy and reliable stage on which to perform.
