Question
What should the length, draught, etc be? How about a transatlantic trip? And what is the price range for used boats like this? thanks
Answer
Hi, I was wondering that myself because I wanted to sail from France to San Francisco. After much research, a 36 feet long boat seemed like to perfect size for a trans-atlantic crossing. So, I did it: France->San Francisco, 1 year, 10000 Miles. Check the boat: http://folalier.com/general/oceanis370.html Check the trip: http://folalier.com/general/cheminParcouru.html Check my notes about what to buy etc: http://folalier.com/ocsc/presentation.html I just sold my boat for 72K
