Your not far off, but you have to remember mildew for the sails, and you will have to have a generator for most stuff on a sail boat. We used to have a Trawler that used the desil CAT engines for a generator and the main drive. Also, look into the costs of some sailboat parts. I was the head instructor at my sailing club and was amazed when I first started what a simple block or some line cost, along with new sails and it goes on and on and on. Steel hulled desil powerd Trawlers in MY EXPERIENCE are the best way to go, check out some float homes too man, I wasnt sure about it at first but go to floatinghomes.com and you will be amazed what you can do!
The way I came to the conclusion with the floating home is a maintence issue, boats are going to break down and I cant repair it that easily, a float home WAY different, plus you can put in some crazy septic systems that will filter your waste and put clean water back into the ocean. Then we can still have a a sweet jet boat (think ocean running zodiac jet boat AWHOYA) for fun!
