So I'm thinkin about taking off and sailing around the carribean and possibly around the world in a year and a halfs time with some buddies after we finish university, just so we can do something fun before we have to settle down. My question is, what size of boat will i need to sail around the world and the caribbean, is it possible for us to hire a captain to show us how to sail and pay him by taking him to some destination and paying him in food etc. What other things should i be looking into right now? If one of us buy's the boat we'll be looking to buy something in the 15 000$ range..but if we split on the boat we'll probly look for something in the 20 000, and put 5000 aside to fix it up. any comments, or advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks
