Hello to all.
Captain (wannabe) Cook here. New to the board but looks like an interesting place to exchange ideas.
I have just begun my
research into the possibility of sailing around the world in 3yrs with 2
children (will be 9 & 11 then) and a reluctant wife.
We chartered a
Trawler and then went to Strictly Sail in
Miami this last
winter, now
sold on CATs.
I have far too many Qs to burden everyone with for now, but would like some feedback on this question.
1) What is a good planning speed for a 50' CAT, (Thinking of a Royal Cape Cat)... I was thinking about 5kts, day in day out on
sails.
2) Has anyone sailed from
West Coast of NA to
Asia via the Northern
Route... up around Southern
Alaska, Kodiak Isl, follow the Isl Chain across to
Japan... is this reasonably possible in the Fall of the Year Aug - Oct ?
Thanks for any help and suggestions... I will try to not over burden you all with too many Qs...
Cheers
