    I'd love to be there, right now.

    One of the sailboats on display is part of my dream retirement. One day...

    Owned a fairly decent size power boat years ago, that cured me, I'll never bother with owning another one.

    Those boats look really old fashioned, I hope they have better ones on display.

    Unfortunately my rich uncle left me out of his will, so I am reduced to floating model yachts in my ofuro.

    The Toyota on the left one, is that the new "AquaPrius" hybrid?

    Sailboats are beautiful to ride, small or big, but motor yachts suck, noisy, smelly, wave making disturbances.

    With all the costs of berthing, licenses and upkeep, it takes an awful lot of money to own one of these, compared to a boat in the UK or USA.

    I'm in the same boat.

    One of my exboyfriends was a Russian man who owned such a boat and we had a cruise on the Black sea coast Of Ukraine. Love the boats.

    Never understood power boats. In this day and age, sailboats are ever so green.
