Not sure if you're saying this in jest or not. But you don't need $1M to have a sailboat. Having just crossed two years of owning my 28.5 footer, I can honestly say my overall costs of owning the boat has not been anymore than my motorcycle habit. I'll see how bad the costs will be when I haul my boat out next year for maintenance: cleaning/painting the hull bottom, inspection/replacement of the through hulls, inspection/replacement of the zincs, inspection of the prop/shaft, and inspection of the rudder bearing. If you are handy, much of the costs can be kept down by doing the work yourself. I just did some maintenance to my inboard diesel myself.
