I have been wondering about this person and just how much
experience he has. If he is just looking for a live aboard in
Thailand, why not buy some roomy dock queen and have it shipped
to one of the ports in the Gulf of Siam or Andaman sea and the
move it to where the dock or mooring chains are located. I don't
believe he could make the trip under sail no matter which boat
he bought.
I don't plan on sailing across the Pacific before 2007 or 2008.
I'm going to build a house on Lanta Island and may want to live
aboard while the house is under construction.
I've read the book "The Voyage of the Northern Magic" about
a Canadian family's circumnavigating the globe. Their entire
sailing experience before they departed was six afternoons on
the Ottawa River. So there's no reason why I couldn't make it
across the Pacific with 1-2 years sailing experience.
Read John Caldwell's book "Desperate Voyage" and see what an
inexperienced sailor went through sailing from Panama to Australia.
