I took a year and cruised with my ex and my now 5 year old.
I bought an old Hunter Cherubini 37 cutter and refitted it. When the boat was ready we left. We did not live onboard but we did take weekend trips as a family to get used to the concept.
I also grew up working on engines and so I comfortable fixing the diesel when it acted up. Like many people, I am also handy so I was able to install many of the electrical items and handle the basic brightwork and repairs. I did not skimp on critical items such as rigging.
Everyone on this thread has given terrific advice. Mine is very simple. It will be the best and worst times of your life. You will be tested in ways you can't imagine. While at the same time you will see the world in a unique and positive way. Do it your way and you will enjoy it.
