Xort-

A sailboat that is 40' long is going to be a problem for most freighters. It really needs to go on a specialized transport ship. There are some new boats that are designed to fit in a standard freight container, and if you bought one of these, getting it shipped to Europe would probably be relatively inexpensive... but they're quite expensive and still relatively new, so little chance of them being on the used market.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
