Yeah, wooden boats are beautiful and have a unique feel under sail, but when the time comes that I actually make a boat for myself (no, I don't yet own my own) it's going to be a fiberglass hull. I'm almost ashamed to admit it because I've built some wooden boats that make me absolutely swoon. But I would rather have a low maintainance fun boat than a constant work project that gets the oohs and aahs.
