"Our first boat was a 17-foot daysailer. I don't think we fully appreciated that at the time. Seventeen feet is not big. Our canoe was the same length. It had about the same freeboard, too. But we never spent the weekend living aboard the little, green canoe. The daysailer? Let's just say we didn't hold it too strictly to its name." Published in Maritime Boating 2012 Edition.
