Lasers are very cool. They used to be expensive but I don't know anymore. My mom lived on a 42' sailboat when I was growing up and it was very doable with 2 semi-experienced people. My mom's husband has a USCG 100 Ton Master license. He does a lot of sailing, teaching, writing for sailing magazines and has been a boat broker. I'll ask him for you if you'd like. PM me.
Also, remember the old adage: A boat is a hole in the water to pour money into. It's very true. If you think you can swing a $40k boat, then you should probably think about a $20k boat because it will always cost more than you think for meintenance, repairs, etc.
