Joe:

     You pretend to have experience, quoting and referring to voluminous
sailing experience.  There is only one answer for your questions, get out
your checkbook and ask Stan what boat he could sell today and send him the
check.  Quit farting around.

Addendum:        “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your
sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”  Mark Twain
