The plan hasn't changed much Neil. Priority number one has always been a comfortable sleeping quarters but having a seaworthy boat we can sail has always been a close second. Early in the boat shopping process we determined that we could get more "living" space per foot in a powerboat but we wanted to learn to sail.
*Tangent Alert*
When I was younger I flew sailplanes (aka gliders) and I see a lot of parallels between the relationship of sailplanes/airplanes and sailboats/powerboats. The former requires a heightened sense of the environmental forces (and a deeper knowledge of them) at work on the machine while the latter gives you the luxury of "powering through" the environment. I've always enjoyed "the journey as much as the destination" so I think we made the right choice joining Team Sailboat vs Team Powerboat.
