I would like to be able to sail to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand to explore, rather than flying (the normal method), ultimately. Maybe further afield depending on how much time I have - Australia in one direction, Sri Lanka the other, for example.
But the i550 is not the boat for that unless trying to set some sort of record.
There is a chap selling a Contessa 26 which looks to be in good condition but he wants double what I think it is worth, so I’m going to see if he adjusts his price next year (if he still has it of course).
The i550 sounds like the best bet.
If you want to get into yacht sailing, people are usually looking for crew. All the benefits of sailing and none of the costs.
