    You could handle a sail boat or a power boat, of the right size.
    If you have not been on the water much, there is a significant learning
    curve. But then you are not in a rush.

    Yes it is feasible, if you can accept living in a space that is small
    enough for you to sail on your own. What size that is, will depend on
    your own characteristics.

    You should not have to play second fiddle, but you may need a (male or
    female) friend to help you with the learning curve. The boating
    community is full of helpful souls.

    -Neal.
