What sort of sailing experience do you have?

Have you looked here: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/buying-boat/48177-boat-inspection-trip-tips.html

There are two books out on surveying sailboats. Surf Amazon, they are good resources.

Also, the book 'twenty small sailboats to take you anywhere' has some good info. Maybe 'DrB' will send you mine when he's done, if you like.

Don't sell yourself short, crossing the Atl is a big deal, even if it was the 'girly run'.

Six months max might seem like plenty of time but that will go by FAST. We took 2 years. LOTS of junk to wade through, and a few brokers that will slow you down too.

Get at least one of those survey books available on amazon.
