I was thinking about buying a small yacht in the next year and sailing across the pacific with a friend. By default i was just planning to buy it in california and sail west. While tossing the idea around my friend suggested that instead we fly to somewhere in asia and buy a boat there and sail it back. His thinking being that if they are made over there half the price must be transporting it to america!

If we bought it in america and sail it over there, then decided we dont know what to do with it and want to sell it we may not be able to get back even 1/3rd of our investment (supply and demand).

But if we go there first and sail back we might even be able to sell it for more than we paid!

Any ideas, tips or thigns we should look out for?

I get terrible jet lag and after a 21 hour flight I never want to fly again in my life!

Does anyone know about an acency or bussiness where I can buy a “boat” ticket to go to SA?
There is such a thing, I just need an agency to help me organise it…
I don’t get motionsickness, or sea sick…

Lucky me!

I want to build a Hartley sailboat, one that has a cabin large and comfortable enough for myself and one or two friends to sleep in for multiple nights. I could just buy a boat, but I want to be on something I made with my own hands. Any ideas one which Hartley is best?
The trip would be, hopefully, a week to a couple of months, though stops would be made. Some trips of course would be only a couple of days, but at least one would be a 2-3 month excursion.
