I too am studying much about what it takes to circumnavigate. While I never found a sailboat graveyard or an auction in time to get something of value, I have noticed any boat bargains nearly always come with a trade off of some sort attached. It appears most bargain boats always have -something- wrong.
I think it is a given that us newbies (myself included) must study our heads off rather than risk losing them while doing our undertaking. Anyone who doesn't... clearly doesn't have a head.
While looking for ways to conserve or have a more sustainable lifestyle while cruising, I've located these good books I'd like to recommend for you:
