I used to sail as a teen and I did so through the cadet organization. I miss it dearly and cannot afford to buy a brand new boat. Does any body know how much it would cost or even how to build a sailboat?

Without knowing the class(s) you sailed I suggest you visit a few sailing clubs with boats you are comfortable with and that interest you. Talk to the sailors and see what is available second hand.

Often if you can cope without having the newest flash boat you can get a competitive older boat that even with a new set of sails will cost much less than new.

You can build very simple PDR (Puddle Duck Racers) with surprising performance for as little as a few hundred dollars rigged, you could build classic designs like the Heron in stitch and glue which might set you back 3 or 4 thousand (or more if you use top shelf everything) Perhaps a lightweight Sharpie for $25,000? You might want to look at some of the Welsford designs, or even just get on a keel boat as crew for a few races to see what it is you really want to get into.

Really the variety and budget is huge – and in todays market very good deals can be got for quite new boats.

Good luck.

.
It took a hundred years for an alcoholic, who was also a pervert, to build a boat for a flood that would kill off the people God was angry at — did it ever occur to God to simply kill them off when he first contemplated killing them off?
.

Or, instead of killing them off, to maybe work on his anger issues ? Maybe develop his parenting skills a bit.

I would like to build a small sailboat, or possibly a boat like a pontoon boat out of pvc. Thanks for the help

take a look at the rebel cat, made out of pvc pipe, the builder went through many versions and improved on the design including pinching the ends ig the pvc pipe for a streamlined shape.
