Hi there, I am thinking of sailing from the Boston area to Florida with a 38 footer sometimes in September. Anybody did this? How challenging is the trip and what would be the best time for it.

Thank you

Hi, I do have sailing experience having sailed quite a bit in Europe. I am new to the Atlantic and I am trying to find out some info before I decide to do so. Charts and skills are not a problem, I am just trying to get some info from somebody that has done it before. I will probably go through the C&D canal. Like I said I am new to the Ocean and I'd like to go the safest way .

What are the bridges clearance from Chicago to New York? Would I need to take the mast down or is there a way to avoid that?

Thank you

Thanks puddinglegs, I thought about the S.L. Seaway but like you said it's going to be a long trip.
I think I'll have to drop the rig and go by canal, or , but I am not sure yet, get the boat transported by land.
I am looking at different options trying to figure out the best way to get it to the New England area and then go from there.

Thank you
