At 38 I am a year younger than Wisper so I help the other 30 somethings pull the mean down a bit :). Actually, Wisper is the second boat I have owned that is older than me - in grad school in VA I had an Annapolis 18 that was built in 1950. One of the early fiberglass boats - similar to a Day Sailor or a Rodes but with a weighted CB and no keel. I put lots of TLC into that boat too. Unfortunately she was totaled by a lightening bolt while tied up in a marina on Lake Erie the year after I passed her along to a friend who lives in Buffalo. The lightening turned the hull into a colander (mast was not grounded and there wasn’t really anything to ground it too). The crazy thing is a few years earlier I was caught out in a thunderstorm on Claytor lake in VA - glad the boat wasn’t hit then!
I stated sailing when I was 10 and my Dad and I built a 12 foot sloop from plywood using plans we found in a library book. Got into racing smallish boats in grad school on Claytor lake in Western VA. Now looking to do mostly coastal cruising in New England.
