Mate of mine wanted to get into sailing but had limited funds and I was restoring an old 16ft mosquito catamaran when we spoke. Two days later I purchased another 16ft mosquito, finished the resto on the first boat and sold it to my mate incuring a heavy loss.
We now have a extra boat on the water and another sailor that is bitten by the sailing bug.
Motto: Sailing, once bitten you never recover.
