Boat: Leopard Catamaran | of fuel went up. About $4.00 in the US. I like powerboating, but doing the same trip without the fuel cost is very attractive. |

Boat: Nordhavn 43 | + fuel. And by having big , we could be choosy about where we filled up. We never had to get fuel from unsavory sources and thus didn't have the dirty fuel issues sailors often face. Unicorn Dreams: Eric's point in this is to make people aware that the right kind of boat can cross oceans safely. Why were you so quick to write off Panama to as impossible? A boat identical to ours also did it in May 2007 and we met up with them in Nuka Hiva. |

Boat: Bluewater 420 CC | forecasting, I am going to get caught out occasionally in some really serious sea conditions. Given the above, my choice is a medium to heavy dispacement sailboat which has significant self righting capacity and whose primary source of is not mechanical nor reliant on the quality of fuel available. However, the charm of is that we all make the same computations and come out with a totally different answer. Greg |

Boat: Gulfstar, Mark II Ketch, 43' | boats do it every year. All I said and I do believe it was in was the miles from PC to FP so he could figure out what fuel he would need and to be able to check and see if fuel was readily available in the Islands in case he needed fuel. Didn't think I would have to spell it out step by step.. Unless there is a short cut to FP 3,000 mile range won't be enough to make it without carrying additional fuel or stopping in the Galapagos..

Can be done. People have repeatedly proven the boats can do it. I think the biggest issue isn't construction or seaworthiness (which is as good or better than other production boats, IMHO), but design. Hunters are designed with input from owners who, in most cases, use the boats differently. As a result, Hunter has maximized cockpit ammenities ...
Nov 13, 2001. #1. My wife and I are hunting (no pun on words) for a boat to do a circumnavigation over the next three years. I am 6'6" so our boat options are very limited. The 420 offers a wonderful amount of interior space and would seem ideal for a live aboard situation.u000bu000bIn our search we hear a lot of Hunter bashing such as I wouldn ...
Circumnavigation means to successfully navigate around any sort of landmasses such as an island or continent. Whilst in yesteryear we would have relied on compasses, maps, stars and uncomfortable conditions, now sailboats are fitted with a vast array of equipment to help you circumnavigate anywhere you choose in a comfortable and timely manner.
3- Submissions shall include a link to a blog discussing the circumnavigation or the boats name, make and model and the route they chose. ... Boat = Hunter 460, 2000 model. Route Traveled = Atlantic crossing just completed from New York City to Lisbon via the Azores. Purchased boat in the British Virgin Islands and so have also sailed the ...
Circumnavigation. Good day all. I've been looking for a capable sailboat for a reasonable price, my goal is to start slow like sailing around lake Champlain but my real goal is more like sailing around the world. Because of limited resources I am trying to get the perfect boat on the first shot. According to my budget and a lot of research I ...
The best sailboats for circumnavigation include the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS, Neel 51, and Island Packet 349. These boats offer passengers a thoroughly enjoyable sailing experience and the reliability, efficiency, and luxury they need from a long-haul sailing vessel. Circumnavigation is all about navigating the world oceans on a dream sailing ...
1) That there is often a rush to move from one location to the next in an effort to stay ahead of seasonal changes. Arriving late, or staying long results in a lost window and could completely disrupt the "circumnavigation" agenda. 2) That the circumnavigation goal is often given up in favor of a leisurely and relaxing cruising lifestyle.
Hunter 25, Motion Comfort=21.35 Hunter 27 (1975-1984), Motion Comfort=23.55 Hunter 27 (2005), Motion Comfort=21.98 ... "Do consider, though, that a sailing yacht heeled by a good breeze will have a much steadier motion than one bobbing up and down in light airs on left over swells from yesterday's blow; also that the typical summertime coastal ...
Year 3: French Polynesia to Fiji, store in Fiji. Year 4: Fiji to Australia, store in Australia. Year 5: Australia to South Africa, store in SA. Year 6: SA to the Caribbean. Of course, you'd see a lot less than you would on a 6-year circumnavigation like ours, but you get it done in a fraction of the cost and less risk.
This will be my first post and I am excited about being apart of this community. I am planning on a circumnavigation of long island this coming June single handed Own a 27 hunter.I have made the trip from oyster bay down the east river to lindenhurst last year. Timed the passage thru hell gate just right and had no issues. I am looking for any advise on the passage along the south shore.
126. Hunter 49 2 San Diego,Ca. Feb 20, 2020. #1. Ahoy fellow sailors Newby sailor here about to open up a can of worms. Due to a cancer scare where I thought I might die but not to worry I'm healthy I'm selling everything retiring and setting sail for roughly 10 years or more.lifelong dream. I'm 54 so I figured I have a few years left.
You must adore the sea. "Sailing long distances is not for everybody," says the owner of the 56 metre Alloy Mondango 3. "If one tends to motion sickness, definitely not. And even if not, one has to be happy with the quiet and tranquillity of being on the sea for days without the sight of land.".
The Hunter Channel 31 was introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the 32 which had replaced the Horizon 32. However, the 31 was designed as a lighter faster cruiser/racer and came as a One Design racing version called the 303 which had a deep lead fin keel. The Hunter Channel 31 was offered with fin or twin keels.
Szymon, who set sail last year from Plymouth on August 19, completed the circumnavigation in 270 days, 10 hours and 29 minute. The World Sailing Speed Record Council recognizes a similar feat by Alessandro di Benedetto (FRA/ITA) in 2009-10 who sailed a 6.5m (21ft 3.9in) Mini yacht around the world in 268 days, 19 hours, 36 minutes, 12 seconds.
The Hunter 46/466/460 space below, long water line, tonnage, in-mast furling main, large spade rudder and large aft cockpit will provide very comfortable sailing even in heavy weather. In addition, the bow thruster will make marian maneuvering and docking a breeze.
The Fast Route - for the minimum time. The Pleasure Route - for the maximal pleasure. The Traditional Route - the road most taken. The Arctic Route - for the rough ones. The Dangerous Route - without regards for piracy. The Cheap Route - with a budget in mind. The Coast Lover's Route - never going far from the coast.
In regards to Hunters being blue water boats- properly equiped the boat will survive. Search youtube for the dozens of young couples circumnavigation in production boats. None have had catastrophic failures, simply normal wear and tear of equipment Personally if solo, I would limit myself to 32-37 ft. 30-01-2018, 07:47.
Catalina 315. nwyachting. This is a nifty pocket cruiser that raises the quality bar for solo sailors with extreme comfort and performance. With just a 9.45 meter hull, the Catalina 315 has more internal room than most classics and remains superb for solo sailing.
The B & R rig is sturdy- regardless of the swept back spreaders eating mainsails when sailing dead down wind. (There are multiple solutions for this issue.) OK, the truth is- I'm thinking the very same thing you are- I too would like to circumnavigate in a Hunter. (2004 - 2012 H41 AC or DS.)
Re: Circumnavigation - Advice from you. 1) do some sailing courses near where you are. 2) walk the marinas, put up signs, make some friends, go sailing on a few of their boats even if just for a few hours at a time. 3) buy a cheap well-known boat to get some experience in both sailing and fixing boats, intending to sell it in a couple of years.
There's something about sailing around the world that captures the imagination and inspires. For some, it's the reason for learning to sail in the first place. Others only start to think about global circumnavigation as their skills and experience grow. Regardless of what motivates you to circumnavigate, one thing remains true.
Is my 33' Hunter strong enough to do a circumnavigation? Warren Milberg. Dec 1, 1999 2,391 Hunter 28.5 Chesapeake Bay Mar 15, 2012 #2 No. Roger Long. Nov 22, 2008 3,562 ... sure. I don't think that Laura Dekker's Jenneau Gin Fizz is any more a blue water boat than your Hunter, and she made it by taking "short" hops from one port to another, and ...
Boat: Nordhavn 43. Posts: 22. Powerboat Circumnavigation Possible ? Is an under 50 foot powerboat circumnavigation possible? Yes. Cost ~$300k cash, good credit. Time 2 years. A route going around via Suez and Panama canals is about 29,000nm. At 6 knots average speed a 2 year trip is about 25% time underway.
