It depends and I don't mean the diaper.

Big enough garage - Free
Big enough yard that isn't overseen by a Nazi homeowners association - Free
Keep on the beach - Risk having it stripped by locals who think anything without the owner around is ripe for "salvage."
Keep on the beach II - Either dragged off or fire bombed by irate home/condo owner who claims you're blocking his view.
Boat yard at downwind launch ramp - $400/month, risk having meth users that live in the grave yard next door strip boat for next fix.

There is a slim possibility of getting a beach sailing center at a new park at Airport Beach (formerly Prindle Beach). Problem is the wind mostly blows like stink which limits use by noobs.

As I said...it's a paddle and the boat is getting warm. If you pull it off with 6 people under 30... I will send you a case of your favorite!


I can, and do do that now with the Sabots and Bics. If the tide is up and the wave action is mild, we'll take the kids over the reef off the Lahaina Town front and race around the moored boats.

Does 30 kids under 15 count? We fill up two classes every June and July and have a waiting list. I like Bailey's.
