Anyone out there care to speculate on the delivery cost of a 36-foot
sailboat from Singapore to East Coast US?

Various methods:

Delivery Captain and/or crew???


That is *way* too long a delivery trip for a 36 footer.


This is the 2nd time in recent days that you've made this kind of
assertion.

According to George Day, the Editor of Blue Water Cruising, there are
more Tayana 37s cruising offshore than any other single design.

Where is this notion of yours that a boat in the mid 30's is too short
to be a blue water cruiser coming from and what would you consider a
reasonable size boat for an ocean crossing trip. Also, what cruising
have you done? What experience are you basing these garbage opinions on?

If you are going to issue these definitive statements like you know what
you are talking about, they should at least be sensible. There are after
all, lots of people reading these posts that are new to sailing/cruising
and could mistakenly believe you know what you're talking about.
