New, have $10K, family, and baby want to live aboard...

[Weyalan]

For me the crux of the issue here isn't whether or not it is possible to buy a boat and sail around the world with a young family, because I don't doubt that it is. But firstly, i'd say if you wanted to do it, you'd want a pretty comprehensive set of handyman skills and relatively high base knowledge on choosing an appropriate boat in your budget, buying a boat with that budget, outfitting a boat for RTW without spending mre than nickels n dimes, sailing a boat, offshore, across oceans, dealing with weather events, dealing with customs, permits and visas, corrupt official, doing everything on a shoestring... It is good to have a dream (lord knows I'm a dreamer), but dreams of this magnitudeshould be based to some degree on reality, tempered with experience and achieved with careful planning
