I Co-Own The East Coast Lady. It was not a hard choice for me. I would never be able to keep my boat at the marina as I do now, with the $ help of a partner. My sailing partner is 10 or 12 years older than me and my wife. This works out for the older couple now. We can only sail on the weekends and vacations. They can sail every day. 10 years from when we retire, we will be sailing all the time and partner will be tired and only want to sail once in a while. The boat is mine on paper and will remain so. The deal to the partner is we split the operational cost, up-fit cost, Maintenance fuel fees dockage, haul-out fees, etc. etc. you own the boat and share the rest. Work out sailing times. It has worked great for us and to be quite frank the 2 of us don't use it enough. Just make sure you explain going into the relationship the the deal has nothing to do wioth ownership. Its only usage. Make sure they are as anal as you on the cleaning of the bottom and the bird poop on top. Make sure you like them cause you will find your self sailing with him more than you think. Have fun... Like I said it works great for us.
