I have had a dream for a few years too sail the S. Pacific. Im now starting
too plan out this trip. I need advice. Im not sure if this idea will go over well
with people, but i think it makes for great group/trip. Please let me know what you think.
Plan: Get 8 people too commit too a 2 year tour. All people will work for one year. I have a small company doing non-skid. The product i have is
Speedliner. Im doing testing now too improve the look of this system.
All 8 people will relocate too said area (FL/CA) too work (one year)
Each person will be required too put into the boat fund 15000.00 = 120000.00
Im looking now at larger boats for this trip. Im thinking a WELL BUILT ferro-boat. Price around 120-150000..... I will have owner hold note and make monthly payments. Will need too search out a dock that will allow us too stay on boat. (wont be easy).... We will work full time, and do all the prep-work needed in the 1st year. Then we will pay 2 years of payments (30000) (15000 dock fee from the 1 year.) with 10000 in prepwork. will leave the group 40000-60000 for travel. Assume the boat is in VERY close too cruise ready shape.
So the way i see it, you live in a nice area for a year. save for a 2 year trip.
Then for 15000 each, you sail for two years anywhere your heart desires.
Then you come back, and do it all over again! Let me know what you think???
Also assume: No one is playing games with the money/boat ect. (fact)
Also assume: the boat is what ever, cause i dont want to see this thread become a we hate ferro-boats/ why you shouldnt buy one thread!
Great fourm, thanks for suggestions.
Anyone?
