Don’t believe the hype, sailing Channels are selling you a lie. Bottom line? The vast majority of cruisers are over 50 and do not post videos about their adventures. YouTube sailing channels are generally made by young fun-lovers, but most cruisers are ‘old’ freedom lovers.
We have met cruisers in their 90s, but most people living on sailboats are pensioners.
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Mark Twain.
