Ok, no this one has already completed an Atlantic circuit so has SSB etc onboard. If your budget is 30k, it will certainly be a waste of too much of that to buy a training boat first.

I'll pm you if anything suitable comes up. Good luck with your venture. We'll be back in the Caribbean later this year so may see you there.

I've seen smaller and less capable boats than renowns happily cross the Atlantic? I'd take one if all the essentials were sorted. Maybe a couple of weeks work.

For £20k you could get a reasonable Nicholson 32. For £25k you could probably get an Excalibur 36. Personally I'm biased in favour of Excaliburs, but the Nick is an excellent seaworthy boat (and kind of matches your name too).
