All about Boats, Yachts and Sailing

syl asked:


Some additional details. What are their requirements?
Where are the most famous sailing championships?
I am interested in it, and sailing and yachting is nice but sailing is a challenge though. Have you ever dreamed of sailing in the ocean?

I have been living near the ocean all of my life. I have studied marine biology, worked as a dive instructor, surfed the east coast of Australia, and sailed yachts. I believe that I am just one individual among thousands who are in love with the ocean and could be involved subconsciously in a concerted technological evolution into the ocean. Is there anyone else who has similar ideas to me?

Saul asked:


What should the length, draught, etc be? How about a transatlantic trip? And what is the price range for used boats like this?

thanks

russianheman asked:


I would like to build a large sailboat someday; something seaworthy and comfortable enough for two to live on. How many man hours does it take to build a 60-75 foot sailing catamaran. what would the estimated cost be for raw materials. It would need to be fully outfitted and ready to man. I would not be building the entire boat–more like, I would be a general contractor, hiring craftsmen to work on different parts of the boat. I would plan on performing as much labor as would be reasonable considering my lack of experience and proper tools.

My wife and I are looking to do sailing trip in the Greek Islands. We do not want to sail the boat ourselves, but would like to be on a mid-size ship/sailing yacht to see a few islands. Any suggestions?

<3 asked:


And how to they work? How does the combination of wind, sails, hull, steering, and keel work together? How does the force provided by the wind is “used”?

Please cite your sources. Thanks

I am an architecture student right now…I finished my 3rd year of classes, and there were a couple of architects that came to me and told me that one thing I need to learn is how to smooze the client…he told me that I should take them out to a fancy dinner, and just talk and scribble an idea on a napkin for later…he also recommended that I take up golfing. I thought maybe I could get into yachting/sailing…Are there any other idea’s I can do?
