1Opinion of the Court
BREYER, Chief Judge.
The appellant, Jose Betancourt, found a serious defect in his sailboat. He sued the manufacturer, W.D. Schock Corporation, in “tort” and “contract,” asking for damages representing his “investment” in the boat (about $72,000), his monthly upkeep for the period the boat was “totally inoperative” ($5000), and the “pain and mental anguish” he suffered by not having a boat that would work ($25,000). The district court, concluding that the relevant statute of limitations barred this lawsuit, granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Betancourt now appeals.
