Hi, my name is Helena and I am new to this forum. I have a 9 meter
wood epoxy very
seaworthy sailboat and I am based in Marseillan (South
West coast France). I will do the
Atlantic crossing to Salvador de
Bahia this year and after that I'll sail up the Amazon river as far as I can. I have a very little
budget and I am planning the voyage now. I still need some
equipment like
liferaft,
dinghy,
AIS receiver, extra
GPS. I also need
charts I already have a
monitor windvane, an
autopilot, 1
Garmin GPS,
VHF, Solarpanel,
batteries,
engine (14 HP inboard
Volvo Penta Dynastart 1978), new
sails (main and
furling genoa). I have one month to prepare and I am now gathering as much information as possible. I am looking for someone who has made this trip and also for very practical info about what to bring and what are the least necessary
equipment to have on board for this voyage. Hope some one can link me up. Many thanks! Helena
