Would I be able to find a vessel capable of traveling the world for less than million or am I dreaming? I still have 10 more good working years left in me.

Re-read the posts. IF you are thinking power, or even a motor sailer, not only will the boat cost more, but running it crossihg be way.

Still, though, for a good trawler or similar, I would guesstimate you could get up and running in really nice style for maybe or so. All these numbers are to get ready, and don't include food, expenses and fuel.

I think thhe 60 footer would be enough boat to make the trip enjoyable. If you want to travel the world you might wtlantic well get a nice sailboat. It will be about the same speed as a trawler under power, it will be free to sail, and they are typically much more capable small boats crossing the atlantic review. No matter what you will wish you had a bigger boat.

A couple who we are friends with made a trip across atlantif their Nordhavn The trip started in southern Florida, went to Bermuda, to the Azores, and Gibraltar. It's important to note that they did the trip in a group of about 20 boats safety in numbersthere was much preparation, and many requirements were in place to be eligible to be in the group.

There's a Nordhavn produced video of their journey as well, which is very very interesting. I believe the video is available for purchase. There's a small boats crossing the atlantic review feature pertaining to their particular voyage in one of the Passage Maker Magazine issues.

Florida R I definitely believe it is the type of boat rather than the size. You need a displacement speed trawler like a Nordhavn that is designed for ocean crossings as not just any boat is safe that far.

Boats set-up for this have double redundancies on all critical parts, very heavy hulls, smaller windows, huge tankage and manufacturer designed spare parts kits.

There are other brands out there designed for blue water crossings as well but the Nordhavn is one of the few production boats designed for. I want to do this type of cruising myself in retirement, I just haven't convinced the Admiral she wants to.

Welcome the value checklist as well as an Sequence Sort !

There is a freighter cruise line that starts in the U. East Coast going to the Mediterranean. It departs every two weeks and allows six passengers on board. The trip takes 18 days starting from New York and ending in Spain. East Coast. This one is going to northern Europe and the Mediterranean as well. It departs once a month and allows seven passengers on board. The trip takes around 14 days. Here are some of the estimated times for cargo ships to cross specific points or ports in the Atlantic Ocean.

An aircraft carrier , speeding at 30 knots It can go up to that speed because of its modern propulsion system and the special design of its hull. The Nimitz is reported to have a top speed of 70 knots At that speed, it can cross the Atlantic in just about 3 days.

Right now, an oil tanker powered by liquefied natural gas is serving the Northern Sea Route. This is the first time there is an oil tanker transiting this route.

Some say climate change made it possible for commercial ships to use this route. The Aframax tanker, loaded with more than , metric tons of crude oil , started to take this route in August of It took about eight days to reach Cape Dezhnev from Cape Zhelaniya. It moved at an average speed of 12 knots. If this oil tanker crosses the shortest route from the US east coast, Port of New York to the nearest port in the United Kingdom, London Thamesport, which is about 3, nautical miles, it will reach the port in London in about Robert Brown and his younger brother Ralph have crossed the Atlantic using a small powered boat.

It took them about a month to complete the entire trip. The two left Tampa, Florida and reached Germany in 76 days. So, technically, they made their Atlantic crossing in one month. Their foot vessel became the smallest powered boat to cross the Atlantic. This is amazing. Richard George, a UK businessman, is trying to cross the Atlantic in just two days.

If he accomplishes this feat, he will be the fastest man to ever cross the Atlantic. This report was published in Mail Online. I was trying to get the latest update of this news to no avail. Anyways, George has assembled a team of engineers to build a 34 meter feet powerboat which they call a wave-piercing boat. George would like to break the record of Aga Khan.

The present record of Khan is two days, ten hours and 54 minutes. A depressing, but extremely insightful series. Brian left yesterday and of course he took the good weather with him.

From his second day, we had nothing but fair winds, sunny skies and beautiful cruising. That also allowed us to get Dauntless more organized and in ship shape having sat in the wind and rain for 8 months. There are still a few projects to complete. Stay tuned. I also had the opportunity to redo my geometry to determine the deepest I can run the paravanes birds without the possibility of hitting the prop or rudder. Just to show that the laws of math and science have not changed all that much in the two years, the magic number is 17 feet, which is the same number I came up with two years ago.

Now, if you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you will know of my tendency to rant and rave about politicians who make decisions not based on any facts or science, but simply because it looks, sounds, tastes good.

Well, I am guilty of doing the exact same thing in this case. Which further makes my case that the right number is the right number, more or less does not make it any better, just different.

So in my case, I came up with 17 feet. This was also confirmed because my friend Larry on Hobo, another KK42, runs his at 18 feet because his poles are about 2 feet longer than mine. Sounds like a no-brainer right? Then as I am actually rigging them, I decide to take another couple feet off, to make my no-brainer even better.

No, I was being an idiot. Made even stupider because I of all people have taught wave mechanics and what happens to the actual water molecules in a wave.

While crossing the North Sea from Norway to Scotland in September , on the first day, of the 4 day trip , the winds were from the NW at 20 knots, gusting to 37, producing seas 12 to 18 feet. But the paravanes were not as effective as they should have been.

I realized I was running the birds too shallow. The paravane bird was getting caught in the rotor of the wave. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion, producing a rotor.

While the wave progresses, the particles of water in the wave itself, move up and down. If you watch a leaf floating on the water, even though the waves move, absent current, the leaf stays in place. Therefore, instead of pulling the boat down and thus reducing the rolling motion, all of a sudden the bird is actually being pushed up. Sometimes this would cause the bird to fly out of the water. Once I stopped and put another 5 feet on line on the bird, all was good and I got to Scotland.

And now, I will show you why more is not always better either. Having Brian on our maiden voyage turned out to be, was a godsend. The only moment where two people was a detriment and not a plus was in getting back to Dauntless on the dingy.

I got out, Brian got out, the dingy drifted away. We started the engine, detached ourselves form the mooring and the dingy was reacquired 10 minutes later. I wrote a story for the winter Kadey Krogen magazine, Waypoints. More than heartfelt, it distilled feelings that have only gotten stronger after 6 years and 25, miles. The question has come up again on Trawler Forum, so i thought I would post this and include the Waypoints story, which begins on page 6.

This was written in June , but never published. Despite my accomplishments this past year, another miles behind me, the Golden Gate in front of me, the Baja bash, Panama Canal, the Atlantic Ocean, behind me, I wonder if I did not make some big mistake.

For not the first time, I wondered about my sudden decision to flee northern Europe two years ago. I loved northern Europe. I loved Ireland. I loved the peoples and the cultures.

I lived for 4 years in Germany and still visit relatively often. The Germans certainly have some interesting attributes. Some of which I even like a lot. In , I was reminded just like 30 years ago, the different personalities the Germans are along the north coast. They are not the Germans of the much more insular interior, one meets south of Hamburg down to the Alps.

It reminded me yet again of how great the cruising was along the north coast of Europe, Scandinavia, the Baltic and North Seas. All the peoples who inhabit the environs along the coast are sea faring folk. From Hamburg to Tallinn, they controlled trade and influenced culture from Germany to Russia. This seafaring culture manifests itself in boat friendly, stranger friendly ways.

No matter how small the port, or how many boats are already there, they will find room for you. In the more formal marinas, like Tallinn and Cuxhaven, the American flag was being put up on the yardarm of the marina even as I checked-in.

All these experiences were exactly the opposite in southern Europe, by the way. Sure, Waterford could not boast like Cabo of having only 7 days a year with rain, but I am sure they can boast that they have at least 7 days a year with sun.

So, all these fond memories really made me question my decision of leaving Europe in Stupid Google also reminded me of my great trip to Galicia to scope out a winter home for Dauntless the following year. Food, people and marina in A Coruna were fantastic.

Had I stayed another year as planned, I would still have some options. I would have also saved so much money. I acknowledge that was a traumatic year for me. I often wonder if unexpected life changes led me to make some hasty, irrevocable decisions? It certainly seems so to me when I think and think and think about it.

It would have been just as easy to fly between Ireland or Spain and Vietnam. I picture myself escaping the heat a humidity of Vietnam for the damp coolness of Atlantic Europe.

One key factor drove my decision to leave for the Pacific, the availability of crew. My Hawaiian nephew wanted to take a year off from school before he went to law school.

He spent almost a year with Dauntless and I. He was indispensable. Not only as a great, hardworking, vigilant crew mate, but also as a smart, interesting companion for the boring passage between Europe and the Panama Canal. Dauntless is in Vallejo, California now. Ending up in one of the wonderful, little towns of Southeast Alaska.

Which one, will depend on several factors, Dauntless taking second stage for now. By next year at this time, my life will take another turn, as I gain both a First and Second Mate on Dauntless. Visa requirements for my wife-to-be and her son require us to live in the United States, so SE AK is the perfect place to settle down for a while and catch a few fish and enjoy the fantastic scenery and wildlife.

What would have happened had Dauntless still been in Europe now? I would truly have a mess on my hands. Everything happens for a reason. Or that SE Alaska, then so far away, now so close, would be the perfect place for a variety or reasons.

As of Tuesday evening, we are planning to try to get to Magdalena Bay, nm, tomorrow. Our third try in the last 9 days. Though even at that, we will probably we stuck there for three days over the weekend, as another period of very strong 15 to 25 kts winds is forecast to hit the area then.

Lastly, on my third trip to Costco in as many days, the dingy finally appeared in front of my eyes. Took me all afternoon to blow it up, and then a day to fix the carb that was pouring gas all over the place, but finally as i drove it to the fuel dock to fill the gas can, I felt pretty good.

One needs to have a good plan to accomplish the goal, but sometimes, life happens, plans change and maybe the goal too. In 8 th grade I decided I wanted to be a meteorologist. Seven years later, in my last Small Boats Crossing The Atlantic 2020 year at the University of Washington, I hated school, I was bored and tired of not having any money. But unlike many of my college friends who dropped out, transferred or just disappeared, I persevered.

I had a goal to accomplish. Dauntless has been in my life for 5 years now. The goal to take a boat to Europe and then S. Korea is even older, maybe 9 years. That goal drove the search for the right boat. A boat that could not only cross oceans but do it in a manner that I could afford on my meager pension. The original plan was to cross the North Pacific this coming summer and arrive in Yeosu, S.

Korea by October Instead, I find myself agonizing over how to get up the Pacific coast of Mexico. The North Pacific seems further away than ever.

I now have some intrepid fellows helping me with the first and hardest, part of the cruise north. Nav lights, radar, radio scheds, autopilot, watermaker, fridge, freezer, computer, fans � you name it, they all add up. Last year, when we carried out our annual survey of ARC skippers , we found that yachts of between 46ft and 55ft had a battery capacity, on average, of ah, rising to 1,ah for yachts over 56ft.

A majority of people in our survey had an extra house or domestic battery bank and one or two had boosted the battery used for their windlass. Interestingly, when we asked about the power equation again in our follow-up survey a few months later , numerous skippers said that they had increased battery capacity yet again or planned to do so in future. A water generator could be a useful addition. These alternative power generation sources have advanced a lot in recent years.

A larger alternator may be worth fitting too, and if only one is fitted to the engine, carry a spare. Be prepared for key equipment to fail because sooner or later it probably will.

Of all the gear problems that give most stress and trouble, the most pressing is autopilot failure. That will start to put a small crew under strain by robbing everyone of rest time.
