A boat to cross the Atlantic
Hello boaters
Just wondering, what should I look for in a power boat that can cross the Atlantic? In regards to length, engines, speed, make, and so on. Thanks, |

Thanks, QE2 is a great place to start. lol, I didn't expect anything but those kind of comments But seriously, It's kind of a lifelong dream, that might never happen, but hey I want to start learning.

I just bought my first boat so I am starting to dream. If you are seriously interested, here is the "must read" bible: "Voyaging Under Power " by Robert Beebe and James Leishman Available at: www.amazon.com Suitable boats are low powered, very special purpose, and will not appeal to everyone. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=diesel+duck http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nordhavn+trawlers http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...s&btnG=Search- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks Wayne. B for the book suggestion. It is certainly the kind of material I am looking for. I am not fussy about the look of the boat, nor do I care so much how long it would take me to do the trip. I am just looking for a boat that will do the job without me having to continue the trip on sea turtles with human hair for rope. |

There are plenty of boats that will make the trip. The biggest questions are how much you are willing to spend, and how fast do you want to go. Guessing, but a decent slow boat would cost @100k, a fast one @300k. Fuel not included. --Vic It's more like, what makes the boat worthy of crossing the ocean? What kind of specs (minimum) that I should be looking for? For instance fuel capacity, or the hull, or what kind of engines a boat like that must have and how many of them. |
