One guy's desire to be out on the water, on Auckland's Hauraki gulf, on a budget ! Trailer sailing isn't the most popular in Auckland, but its nice to have a nice clean boat, and no hassles leaving it unattended over the winter months, and having some control over costs. I'm also really into surfing and biking, so time is limited between all these.

the ongoing search and the reasoning
For the last 6 years I have owned a small camper van, and in NZ the camping lifestyle suited me, and surfing around the country has been great. I have spent 10 years surfing!
The grand finale was a Indonesia surf trip in June 2012, and after that, well 32 degree bathwater and boardshorts, I was spoilt, and didn't surf again till December!
After a short foray into laser sailing next to my house in Panmure, I remembered my sailing experience from 20 years ago! I decided that I'm grown up enough to buy something bigger that floats more than a few inches off the water. Sailing those little lasers is quite a physical sport.
