In Response To: What kind of sailing (pic) (Rodger 2002 S25 "SanDee")

There is only one cure for "Twofootitus"...that is to buy another boat. But, what would the correct term be for the opposite scenario some are afflicted with, and that is downsizing?..."Downsboat Syndrome" (no disrespect intended to people afflicted with Downs). Some who have experienced the comforts of a bigger boat and find the higher costs and need for a crew just to get on the water, sometimes change their tune and seek the benefits of a smaller boat.

That's not me yet, I'm content with my Fox for now but I can see a move up to at least an S23 in the future. I guess when you loose that contented feeling about your boat, it's time to move up "or down", and if you loose interest altogether and your boat becomes a "Marina Queen" or "Trailer Qween" (another new term) it's time to get out of boating all together.

On a similar note; I am curious as to who out there has owned their Seaward the longest? This survey is open to all Seawards....How many years have you owned one, or have a long time past ownership? Who has owned the most Seaward models...Fox,S22/S23,S24/S25,S32?
