and sometimes not. I see the trend to move up all the time, and its certainly true for me. I currently have a sailing dinghy, a Macgregor 22 swingkeel, and a Cal 2-29 project. Love them all. But what I run into all the time are people who used to own 30-40-50's and move down as they grow older. Their dilemma is they still want to get out, but the spouse stays home now, the kids are grown, the friends drift away, crew are scarce, the work and expense doesn't match the time afloat, its more fun and easier to solo, and a hundred variations. I enjoy hearing stories of both evolutions. I guess I'm not always a 'more is better' guy.
