- Since Janet and I live on a island she got the great idea to buy a sailboat so we could have fun. We were able to find a great little 22' sailboat with all the attachments. Our boat is the Zephyrus named after the Greek God Of The West Wind. It is an older MacGregor V222 sailboat and it is a great little boat to start to learn on.
Here is our happy little boat on the trailer in the parking lot.
