ship wanted

First, I am moving this to Rabble Rousing where it's more likely to be read.

As much as I would love to make a wise crack about this I won't.

The reality is, it will take several hundred thousands of dollars to purchase a decent sailing vessel. The price is eqivalant to the cost of buying a house or more.

The up keep is also very expensive and will take a large income to maintain the vessel.

The main reason why vessels like the Royalist, The Lady Washington, The Lynx, The Californian, (of course these are ships on the west coast, but the east coast is the same), is they give sailing ventures to the public who pay for the event. That money helps maintain the vessel and keeps a small crew around.

But also it helps to have had a sound source for money to begin with. Whether it be earned by hard work, or inheritated by a wealty family person, it is not a venture entered into with a blindfold across the eyes.
