I live in indiana. First step is to get some schooling in. There is a
sailing school i think a couple hundred miles from me. After that i have some pretty ambitious plans for some passages and travel . Clearly i am not going to cross an ocean without the proper
training . Watching some of these people on youtube who talk about their
novice experience while they cross the Atlantic and now are crossing the pacific (sailing la vagabond ) . I am sort of scared a bit however my solution to that is
purchasing my vessel . So that is about where i am at. Steel/aluminum/fiberglass/ Even read about a boat that was made of
wood with copper plating .....
Keel and
rudder options. There is so much to consider. ......
