Sweet! I would love to get a cruiser someday and bounce around the carribean for a year or two
read "Sailing around the world alone" by Joshua Slocum, the first person to do so (around 1890) and you will be infected.
I like my 16 foot hobie though, esp going 20 knots, flying a hull while hooked out on the trapeze wire, and blowing the hatches off 60' monohulls as I fly past them :^)

BTW, I can name those sails. The one on the front I name Bob, then Mike, and the back one: Sam
and the one all curled up on the bow: Curley!
