Bermuda crossing
hi eric
I added up the required equiptment for offshore for carribean 1500 and it comes to $6,000 plus so Iam working like a fene to get all put together.
My boat is a very sound vessel although as you know the requirements for offshore is all together different then taking a sail in the bay. So as soon as I get all that is needed I''ll start looking for a crew with more experience then I so as to learn from others..
The auto pilot is a st4000;have radar and orc flares need liferaft and epirb;have dedicated battery for starting and 2 battery house bank;
Got to buy wind and solar energy yet.
where are you located Eric? what state?
I really appreciate all your input being new to sailing. Also would you suggest a windvane instead of a autopilot.?
regards
Gary
