Re: What to do with old boats ?

Just to note, it is possible to recycle fiberglass but not like you think. It's usually ground down into a sand/polyester dust mixture and either used as burnable fuel or cement binder or god knows...

Re: What happens to all the wannabees?

I know of several people now who have successfully navigated it, I don't know that it's all that bad. Alaska in my experience during fishing season was always terrible with spots of okay, compared to...

Re: What happens to all the wannabees?

Not aware of any seas not defined as aggressive anywhere near Alaska. My only real sailing experience is between the PNW and AK via powerboat.

Re: Life choices

Eh. If I paid heed with cautious reasoning like that I'd of never made it to Japan. :)

The biggest problem is logistical. The used boat market here is not suitable for large recreational ocean...

Re: Life choices

5-7 years is a long time, but the good news is that I can probably pick up a Gemini Legacy 35 or something similar next year for coastal and short haul cruising in the meanwhile.

This way when I...

Re: Life choices

To give you some clue about how senior non-management engineering type job transfers work, or at least have worked for me, when I moved to Japan from the U.S. I had 3 months of preparation time and...

Re: Life choices

That's good to know with Perry, though I just asked them a few questions last week and got a response.

I knew about lightwave but not freeflow. Any other multihull builders of note in .au?

Re: Life choices

To answer points so far;

I can't make a decision on a used boat until I hit cash in hand. I tend to project things using suboptimal means; a used boat that meets my requirements is a better deal,...

Life choices

I'm going to start this out by saying that Tokyo real estate is expensive. Especially in Central Tokyo. For a 1300 square foot house you're looking at about $900,000 USD.

Re: Hello from Tokyo!

I'm mostly doing some life planning around the concept of not buying a house in Tokyo.

I feel like $900,000 could be better spent on a motorsailer I may live-aboard so I'm trying to find someone...
