I am interested to here the minimum requirements techinically,
legally and illegally with accepted risk for sombody who is
interested in hugging the East Coast of Australia - Sydney to
Brisbane.

ie. lowest price, smallest sailing boat etc.

Once met a bloke from Sydney who got as far as Townsville in a 10 ft
Mirror before being rescued by a bulk carrier.

He reckoned he would have go further if it hadn't been for the camera
gear and tins of baked beans in the buoyancy compartments.

I didn't continue the acquaintanceship.
