(We will work to answer these as best we can for our scenario as we go on)


  • What’s the cheapest boat you should buy that is able to circumnavigate?


  • What’s the difference between a Sloop, Ketch and a Cutter and which one is best?


  • What are the different cost considerations when buying different size boats - e.g. bigger boats cost more to dock in marinas but have the space to be more self-sufficient with solar and water makers thus meaning you dock less!


  • What should you be considering when you are looking for a boat - on the interior and on the exterior/ in the techy side?


  • Can you do a course to learn the maintenance side or should you learn on the job?


  • How much work can you do yourself if you aren’t mechanically minded?


  • Can you rename a boat?


  • Should you keep space for crew and friends or get a boat just for you?


  • Is it best to try and work on the boat as you go, save and live off savings or to take time off the boat to come home and work on land?


  • Which are the best boat brands for your buck?


  • Where can you learn to dive and how much does it cost?


  • How much gear should you have on board to start with and what should you leave and buy as you go, things like solar panels, water makers, hydro power, etc.
