Where to start?
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 9:11 am
Hi guys,
i'm after a little advice really.
I'm looking into getting into Sailing but don't know the first place to start. I've been wanted to get into it all for a while and have recently changed jobs where my manager is a lot more flexible so hopefully in 2010 will spend a bit of cash and go on a trans Atlantic sailing holiday (seen a few offered on a few web sites) then hopefully on returning will buy a small yacht of my own.
I'm hopeing to do my competent crew course over the summer, and was wondering weather it would be worth doing my yachtmasters on returning from the trip or just going for the day skippers?
also i have about £20k to spend on a yacht that i hope will be big enough to go out for weekends and maybe channel crossing over to france for a week or two here and there.
sorry for all the questions, but if you could point me in a general direction it would be appreciated
i forgot to mention i have experience working on a small marine survey vessel but have been relying on a motor not sail for this
thanks again
