Re: Month 21 Expenses of Cruising and Living on the Boat

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Second time I have heard this... Makes me think... So your advice is purchase further north and then move it down?

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Yeah, after some of the comments here I've let go of the pilot house idea as something that is super beneficial.

Finally someone that thinks at least a portion of my proposed timeline is to long!...

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Tillsbury, was there significant slow down on the actual transaction or was most of that 3 months "looking" for a boat?

How much time should I budget for the actual "transaction" once I find a...

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Cheaper to divorce yourself from the boat than the woman though.

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Yeah, slow down, have to get used to sailboat speed, literally and figuratively. That being said, would rather be sailing and on the hook than sitting in a marina and fixing a boat up... I feel like...

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

Yeah, I am aware of "surprises" that could come up as far as repairs. I would definitely need to triage those if (when) something comes up or risk the departure timeline quickly.

Re: Advice for first time boat buyer

I was thinking about a pulley system in the companionway if we end up with a deep boat.

Good idea on a day or two with a sailing instructor to ease the learning curve.
