Costs of owning a yacht?

Monday, September 28th, 2009



I’m just curious about the costs of owning a big boat. Like if I were to live on one. Sounds crazy I know, but what would the costs be of living on a powered yacht over a sailboat? I would rather be on the ocean, so would there be more cost cause of the salt water. I would like to be able to travel places like go to Europe or something crazy, is there a minimum size I should get? Is there a someway I could get a motorcycle on one? Any other things you could think of that would be helpful would be great? This is only out of curiousity, I’m way too poor to do it now. Someday.

Quick question?

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009



Mike, who is standing on the deck of a yacht that is travelling due west at 6 km/h, sees a sailboat sailing southwest at 4 km/h, 3 km northwest of the yacht. How close to each other do these boats get?

My girlfriend was upset that I accepted an offer to go sailing from someone at her yacht club?

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009



My girlfriend invited me to dinner at her yacht club, and someone at the table asked her to race on his boat with him, but she was already committed to another sailboat. So he asked me, and I accepted. She said I shouldn’t have accepted because I was just her guest and I shouldn’t have agreed to get involved in anything at her yacht club independent of her. I saw it as a chance to improve my sailing skills, and I felt she should be happy for me to get this opportunity. This is a boat she’s always wanted to sail on, so maybe she was just ticked that I was available to get this opportunity and she wasn’t. If so, isn’t that selfish and controlling? She insisted that I back out of the race and sit at home instead. She wants this part of her life exclusively to herself and only includes me selectively. She accuses me of just copying her interest and doesn’t consider that I have a geniune interest in this on my own. What is this really all about?

Sailboat in Sacramento? (Clearance Issue)?

Thursday, February 26th, 2009



I am thinking about buying a sailboat or a motor yacht, but I need to know the height limit of the bridges between the SF Bay and Sacramento. Does anyone know this information or where I can get this information? I would prefer a sailboat, however, if it wont make it under the bridges, it’s not much use to me. So what’s the tallest boat that could reach Sacramento? I would need to get past the I-5 overpass as I live on the Garden highway, that would be the last bridge.
