Question

Ever thought of selling up, buying a boat and sailing off , into the sunset?

Answer 1

yep, something like a Macwester or a Fisher with good accomodation, easy to handle alone and a good heavy weather handling ability

Answer 2

Done that..  Of course the sun sets in the West Indies.

be careful not to leave a Storm and end up in a hurricane.

Answer 3

heh i would sink just outside the harbour.  would rather buy a lamborgini and drive off into the sunset.

Answer 4

Frequently.   Only in recent months it's sort of turned from a boat into an RV.

Answer 5

Yes.  The reality of the dream is a much different boat.  Sailing requires skill and education,  which includes navigation and knowledge of the 'rules of the road'.  Also a boat requires maintenance and repairs, so unless you have the skills to do them yourself, you must pay someone else to perform - can be very expensive.

Its a wonderful dream but marinas all over the world are filled with boats that were purchased with that "sunset thought" and languish in their berths.  

In reality, most people never make the leap.  If you are serious, take sailing classes,  read about boats, talk to people knowledgeable about boats, check the $$ for boat ownership - and then,  if it all adds up to you,  take the plunge.
