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.

I had a 32 foot sailboat I sailed anywhere I wished to. I'd not hesitate
to take that exact boat on this trip.

IIRC, some girl sailed a much smaller boat from California to Australia
as have many others. If I had the time, I'd be happy to do this trip
unless the quality or the condition of the boat isn't up to it.

Size isn't relevant. Build quality and condition sure are, though. There
is a hell of a diff between, say, an O'Day and a Valiant.
