Swap sailboats
Sailor to sailor, or sailor to shore — passage-makers, coastal cruisers, and daysailers exchanged for other boats, RVs, homes, and vehicles.
The crossings
Sailors downsizing from a 40+ foot boat to a smaller daysailer through a direct owner exchange — or trading up toward blue water
Offshore cruisers returning to land life trading a capable ocean vessel for a home or vehicle; RV enthusiasts trading motorhomes to try sailing
Buyers entering sailing for the first time offering their car, camper, or land as trade currency

Passages logged
A 38-foot cruising ketch traded for a home in a coastal community, letting the sailor go landlocked with equity intact
A weekend sloop swapped for a Class B camper van, converting marina costs into road-trip freedom
Two sailors trading boats — one wants a bigger offshore passage-maker, the other wants a simpler coastal cruiser
Every vessel involved gets the full treatment: NAMS/SAMS survey with a haul-out, rigging and engine review, title abstract, and a written exchange agreement before anything leaves the dock.
