Nightfighter,

How/where did you make a living in "the industry".

I was in the sailboat industry for 25 yrs. We might have lost money on each boat, but we made it up in volume.

megabyte,

I was captain of a number of SORC race boats from 79-81. We raced under IOR rule back then. Room, board, vehicles, plus a mate and a cook on the A class boats. Was a good life for just outta school. Then took a sales job for Ulmer Sails, carting an early Apple up and down the east coast in the back of a Volvo wagon. Should have stayed on the water.... mixing your vocation with your avocation isn't always what you expect.

On some deliveries we would troll for dinner. When we did hook up, the fish didn't have a chance as we would reel them in with cross connected coffee grinders

Sail boats are good on gas but they still suck!
