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 really want to know & LOVE sailing so i really want to know as much as i can.

I would like to try sailing the ocean but am new. I was wondering if there are groups that keep in contact in order to watch out for each other.

I have recently gotten into sailing and I want to go somewhere and sail away!
