Message: [QUOTE="Baltic, post: 3972969, member: 965"] Prankster makes excellent points. I have never had a sailboat that I would feel confident enough with to make a transatlantic crossing, nor someone who I would feel safe sharing such an adventure. Experience is absolutely critical on the water. Being on the water In rough weather with wind blowing 50 or 60 mph for a sustained period of time is totally physically and mentally exhausting. One of the reasons I have sailed the coast is so I could avoid really violent weather and head to a safe harbor. On the other hand there is nothing as relaxing and more serene than sailing along on a beam reach on a summer afternoon. Definitely give sailing a try in your local area and see how you and your family enjoy it. If everyone isn’t on board for the adventure it isn’t going to work. [/QUOTE]
