The effort and expense to maintain my Lecomte Northeast 38 was just too much. By the time I got her in the water my body was shot. (Bad back, knees, shoulders). I went to a Nimble 26 foot Kodiak pilothouse motor sailor. She is very comfortable for 2 for a week or more. The inside controls for those rainy days is the balls. What used to take a week of cruising I can now do in an hour or 2. I get to the cruising area I want then launch (3/4 hour to rig and launch). Fresh water lakes are also an option. I do miss the big girls sailing ability and comforts.
