Ellen MaCarthur passed her Yachtmaster exam in 1995 and came second in the Vendee Globe single handed round the world yacht race in 2000.
With this as backdrop, 11 years seems like a lifetime.
Against the advice of this forum, we prepared a new-to-us boat for a trans-Pacific voyage in just 2 weeks and the voyage went really well. Not that I would recommend that time window to everybody but, again, 11 years is a looooong time.
