Here in Boston we have an awesome public sailing club on the Charles River that has a bunch of Mercury centerboards and and keelboats. $400 for unlimited access and classes, plus a free summer program for kids from low income households. It's amazing
We had a family issue that delayed the plans (grandma needed care) but I think next year is the year we quit our jobs and start searching for a boat that can take us around the world. Hope you can keep us posted on the progress of getting yours in the water!
Man I hope this takes off, I'm over reddit haha. I'm from Boston and I've been obsessed with sailing for a few years now.. Unfortunately there won't be much sailing for me this season since the boat I spend the most time on is on the hard this season. I'll probably have a bunch of dinghy sailing posts eventually though.
All my moderation experience is on Reddit but if you ever need a hand here, I'm more than willing to throw time at it. I'm chronically online since my boat is on thenhard this season 😭
YouTube is the only thing I don't mind paying a subscription for. I consume an unreasonable amount of media on YouTube. They host something like 4.5 petabytes of new videos every day. For me, the value I get from there is easily worth the price of premium. I couldn't say that for any other streaming service.
