I am an avid sailboat racer including several weeklong offshore races, but I’ve never lived on a boat before so I’m looking for advice and things to consider. I live in Houston.

We’re looking for a quality sailboat and would like recommendations on a good manufacturer. It appears we need something in the 40′ range. Is our budget of 80-90K reasonable? If anyone has a broker they recommend, we’re interested in that too.
We plan to live aboard for a year and keep to the waters of the Washington coast. We admit we don’t know much, but we’re willing to learn. Yes, we’ve heard owning a boat is like throwing money overboard. We may be niave and too optimistic for some people, but we figure you only live once!
Almost forgot, we need at least 6′6″ headroom!

I cannot find teak, and I want to build a floor grate to keep the feet off the bottom of my Thistle sailboat. What is a good substitute that I can find locally?

My father recently inherited a sailboat from his grandfather. The sails were stored in a garage inside a cardboard barrel and now have dark stains (rust?) on them.
We’re trying to figure out the best way to remove the stains without damaging the sails. Any ideas?
