I always wear a PFD. I don't think swimming is a necessary skill to have. Obviously it might come in handy once upon a time, but that's why I wear the pfd, and don't go out alone

That is a good idea. I guess I just always assumed people who were racing had their own boats, but it makes sense that some of them might just be looking for a way to get on the water 😀

Yeah, I have a U-bracket that will go around the back of the mast. Just wondering if the strength is the same between a 2x4 and a 1x6. Mast does attach to a base plate with a pin to make a hinge.

Interested in sailing courses but not sure what to do after to keep engaged in the hobby.

This! I bought my first boat last summer for $3k with everything needed (including trailer) included. Before that, I took ASA 101/103 and crewed a few times. Other than that, total noob to boats and sailing. I have found that everyone at the marina was friendly and helpful last year. Located in Michigan, so I can't help with any recommendations out your way. I waited until I was 50 to start this - you're already ahead of the game!! Happy sailing! ⛵

Good to know. He changed the oil in the compartment at the bottom of the shaft. He did also recommend next spring to check the water pump/impeller (assuming I don't run into any issues with it this season!!).
