Sailing Equipment Online
Interested in sailing from New York to Florida to the Caribbean – how do I go about it?
I am interested in learning how to sail. After doing so, I would like to use that experience to sail from New York to Florida to the Caribbean.
I’m not hard core – I don’t mean to do it without a couple of engines, lots of practice, and safety equipment. My question is, what kind of boat – that isn’t too expensive – would be best suited for this purpose?
And where might I go online to start learning about what I need to learn about?
thanks!!
I am getting a real kick out of these replies.
I learned how to sail in Oceanside CA on a little Lido 14. Stick with the smaller boats (26 ft or less) to learn. They are much more responsive in the wind and you have to pay attention to everything. Go to your local “US coast guard” and ask them about “power squadren” certifications and classes to learn the rules of the road, so to speak. Then, before you get involved in buying a larger boat, I would crew for some people who own their own boats. You can learn volumes from other peoples situations before you invest in your own.
I sailed on a 41′ ketch with one other guy from Cairns Australia up to Guam. Had a great time… learned alot. Six months on board in the tropics with stops in New Guinea, Truk Lagoon, and a few other places. Contact me if you want some leads or further info on how to go about it. Nothing like being in open water.
