i am 22yr old very keen sailer, and am planning a single handed trip
america to england, the northern route. the boat is a bristol 27.

i am after any advice on the route and the boat. i am not familiar with
this boat yet at all but have heard good things about it.

any help would be much appreciated

Why, except to say you done it -- IF you finish?

You'll be new to the boat, her problems likely undiscovered, doing
something you've never done before. Bad combination.

But if you're determined: I forget the name of the rally that does
that, and doubt you'd be big enough or have enough crew to formally
enter, but the organizers and participants would be who I would ask for
advise.

Oh gosh, as I thought about it, a video came to mind that was
circulating a year or so ago: Single-hander's video camera was found
onboard a boat drifting near England with him not on it. Anyone know
where that is?
