I have been to Atlantic City twice by sailboat. One at the Atlantic City Anchorage: Rum Point Basin and one to the Farley State Marina. When you get a slip at the marina you receive a free pass and few dollars in credit to gamble at the Golden Nugget Casino & Hotel. Not a bad deal for $2...

Many have asked the question; What is the expected lifespan of my sailboat?. The short answer is it depends on the maintenance put into the boat. In general, how well you take of your sailboat will dictate how long it will live.
I bought this little Laguna Windrose 22 sailboat on Craigslist last year and it has been setting in my RV Storage building. Now that it is springtime and I have time because of the Coronavirus pandemic I will start the restoration.
In general, springtime is the most expensive time of the year to buy a sailboat because it is the beginning of the sailing season. Here are 6 boats from 32-foot to 35-foot LOA that are under $7,000. They will need some work.

To set sail is to propel a craft on the surface of the water over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation.
I sailed a Catalina 25 in the San Diego bay for a few hours and I liked this little sailboat. She was fairly agile in the bay and although it did not have a Knotmeter gauge but she move fairly swiftly for a 25 foot sailboat.
Whitehall Bay, on the west side of Chesapeake Bay and has general depths of 13 to 6 feet. A lighthouse at Sharps Point, on the west side of the entrance to Whitehall Creek Entrance Light 2W, provides a well-marked approach to the channel between North Shoal and Whitehall Flats.
I have only visited this marina once and had trouble making it in with my 5.5 ft draft. The entrance a bit shallow, the charts says the approach depth is 7 to 8 ft but I bottomed out just after the entrance had been drudged. Also the approach has a strong cross current so be careful when...
Hugh Angelman's 36 foot auxiliary ketch, the Sea Witch – a boat that not only became a classic, but (in spite of the relatively small number that have been built), went on to win the Trans Pac race and become a "class" in itself – known as the "Sea Witch Class."
