I would like to sail my Nordica 16 across the Atlantic from Canada to
Europe. I have a GPS...can you think of anything else I will need (aside
from the obvious food and clothing)?

How long do you think it will take me? (So I will know how much food to
bring.)

Thanks
Shel

Oh boy! I was seriously looking at a Nordica 16 a while back. I love the
style ...pointy on both ends etc. Way back in the late 70's..or early
'80s a lifelong friend of mine and 'Bud the Spud' tried to setup as dealers
for the Nordica line.
I gave up on the boat after seeing one at a local yacht club ...sitting on a
crap trailer full to the gunnels (cockpit and cabin) with water. I later
found out it doesn't have a cockpit drain. You can't even leave it on a
mooring without a cover.
My advice...bring along at least $100K to pay for the Coast Guard rescue you
will require. I'm sick of the Canadian taxpayer paying for all the rescues
of half baked adventurers.
