I have come from a family heavily involved in boats and yachts (my home was a 37' Golden Cowrie Heartly for 3 years this is not the boat but similar). I have made a decision that I want to spend a good deal of time on my own Yacht sailing Australia and the rest of the world.
For those who do not know Yachting / Cruising is basically like a Caravan on the water. Have all the amenities that you need to get by and some luxury’s depending on your budget and whatnot.
I have figured to build a boat on the weekends could take me a few (5 – 8) years from design to finish and launching. And would cost me about as much as I could buy one for, however if I built it – would have everything that I want / need to place in it rather than finding that I bought a lemon. Should I start thinking about building as a goal or save my pennies and get something?
Is there any places that you have though to visit and explore via the coast rather than by car / helicopter / other vehicle?
There is a bit of back story to the lemon part I suppose which I can explain in time.
