Can someone with a knowledge of sailing please, please help?
http://www.boatshop24.co.uk/boats/6844027-Hunter-701-Yacht–For-Sale.html
Please can you check out the above vessel; could this Boat (or something similar) cross the Atlantic (UK-USA or vice-versa) as long as the crew knew what they were doing and were adequately supplied with food/ drink?
Or is this sort of boat totally unsuited to ocean crossing, and if so, why?
Thanks for your help!
Not including modifications that can be made relatively easily by the crew themselves, eg, fitment of safety/ electronic gear etc etc.
eerie, ibeboatin and science teacher all have good points……a Hunter is a local weekend lightly built boat and doesn’t have the room for the supplies you need….figure this..the best sailing route from the UK to US ( Cornwall to New York, say, isn’t directly across…..you’d be going against the prevailing winds and a 2 knot Gulf Stream………but south down to the Canaries then across the Atlantic downwind with the Trades and then up the coast……..say 5.000 miles in all
Now, the max speed of a sailboat is the square root of the waterline length times 1.25….so a boat 19 foot on the waterline is maxed out at 5 knots…..and that’s Maxed; 3 knots made good is more like it…..so 3 into 5000 is 65 days. Say EVERYTHING gos right and you can do it in 50.
Where are you going to put 50 gallons of water, 150 meals, gallons of kerosene for the stove………
a good minimal size boat for this trip, with stops in the Madeiras, Canaries, West Indies is nothing less than 28 foot……an outboard engine is USELESS at sea, an inboard diesel is what you need……and strongly built boat at that…….over there on your side of the pond, look for something designed by Campr and Nicholson or Laurent Giles…..
practice sailing practice sailing practice sailing…..the 2,000 dollar boat you showed might be a good practice boat…….then get a real 28 footer and GO FOR IT!
