Seriously though... a second sailboat boat may help.
I've sailed since I was a kid and was hooked from day one.
One day at the cottage, a friend offered to let me sail his Hobie Monocat. (POSIMO)
So I take my wife out on it..... not much wind...boring sail.
The boat handled like a slug with 2 people on it.
I eventually realized it was getting worse.... surprise.... hull deck joint was leaking. Barely got it back to the ramp.
She decided the sailing was clearly boring, and had no interest in buying a boat with our young couple limited funds.
Flash forward a few years later, and she goes on a business trip.
While there, she meets up with friends on the Ottawa river who own a Hobie 16.... they take her out.... then put her on the trapeze.. fly a hull.
She comes home and one of the first things she says is... I now understand... you can go find us a boat.
Never looked back.
So....
Maybe getting 2nd boat... a cheap fast daysailer is an idea ?
More fun than a keelboat, and maybe the kids can learn to take it out on their own.
Nothing like sailing a fast day cat or dinghy by yourself or in pairs, to get you interested in the sailing in general.
And it's fun to have both options.
