Here's my dilemma. I have a wooden 17ft yacht which I spent some time painting and varnishing. I like the boat but now am put off by two factors which make me doubt her and look with envy at the plastic ones. First after going in the water at the beginning of April, I am fed up now that she is still taking up - the magic sponge and bucket every week - I just can't be bothered with this. And then the quotes I have had for indoor winter storage vs outdoors are much much more expensive. So I am coming to the conclusion that I am not cut out for wooden boats after all. So should I go back to vulgar plastic where I belong, where there's no rot to worry about when the water's in the bilge, or any last minute persuations to carry on?
