Default Im thinking of buying an Ensenada 20 and living in it as much as I can

How crazy of an idea is that?

Biggest craft I've sailed is a Sunfish.Pretty muchthe smallest boat you normally see on a lake.So this would be a huge step up.

BTW, Im on Lake Champlain.

Figured live out of it for as many months as I can, and pick up a roommate in my apartment so rent will be cheap. I have a 2 bedroom, but its only me at this point.

Not safe looking because they have a big mast and they lean a bit in a good wind?

Hows this for counterweight. The rudder in the back to steer this one weighs 500lbs.

I've never thought of a sailboat as unsafe, except for those couple times on the sunfish when i wasn't paying attention and smacked myself in the face with that lower piece of tubing on the sail frame.

how are you going to live in it? what about running water, electricity, and whatnot? will you run wires and fresh water from your apt.?

that's a totally different beast from a sunfish. sailing a sunfish is a BLAST and prolly the easiest boat to sail. i don't think i'd want to do it.

Dude, it's a boom. Just call it by it's proper name.

We have an wooden 27 footer we keep near Rock Hall MD, It's a blast. once I get enough $$ I'll definitely be buying my own. Sailing is way cooler than powerboats, once you try it......
