I did look into this since I buy stuff from the UK.


But only dropped 10%. That's barely a sale. I mean that's huge if all your holdings are in GBP, but it's only so-so in terms of sale pricing. And prices might spike since the yen spiked a bit, meaning it will cost more for UK to restock as their currency is worth less, and they have to pay higher prices because the yen is worth more as well.

I'm on the fence about buying some Shimano RS81 C35 wheels.

It's like saying road cyclist are 99% lame for riding on the road.

The fuck you on?

>>968121
at least 40 ish percent of those with road bikes actually do what they're built to do (ride on the road, quickly)

there are some lazy assholes on disc brake equipped bikes trying to average 14 mph on strava that are better suited on hybrids

Are you using those pointy break hoods? Those are quite uncomfortable, moreso with traditional bend drops. Consider getting something like the Tektro TRP RLL

>Are you using those pointy break hoods?

those are the ones, the position is as pic rel, its not the ergonomics of the hood that bother me its primarily how your hands get squished within the bends of the bar.

can I manipulete the position by rotating the bar and hoods or is a new bar needed?

Just let nature take its course

Dont worry anon. If i was as bad of a ridder as you then i would probably also be jealous of how much a guy who only eats plants is better then me.

Looks like a sweet piece of ride.

the fork is bent. we take photos from the other side round these parts

It's a low end Peugeot bike.

Could you try translating that into something readable by removing all the grandiloquent language?

>Sail around the world
>How much will a good boat cost

This is REALLY hard to answer, there are a number of questions you will have to ask yourself and factor in. What are your demands, for example, on things like speed, comfort, size and so on.

Will you be sailing alone or bringing a crew? If you're bringing a crew you'll need to pay more initially for a bigger boat, but you'll probably be able to find people willing to split all maintenance/running costs with you, possibly making it cheaper in the long run.

Do you intend to do extended offshore cruising or will you hop between ports? Most modern boats can cross an ocean every now and then, but for staying away from land/ports for extended periods of time you'll need more systems to be self-sufficient with regards to water/power, bringing up the price of the boat and the running cost.


With regards to licenses, and without knowing where you're from, you generally aren't required to have any more than the VHF certificate. That said, I would strongly recommend taking courses/classes in boat handling, navigation, weather, safety and so on. Also, consider crewing on a boat(s) for a while. This will allow you to gain (and soak up from others) experience that will prove invaluable on your own boat later, you'll receive pointers from captains and other crewmen with more experience than you, and so on. Have a look at Crewbay.com or Findacrew.net and browse there for a while.


With regards to money, there are plenty of cruisers who share their budgets online or on blogs. Costs vary wildly depending on where in the world you provision/get work done on your boat. It also depends on how much you cook yourself/eat out, how much you fish, how big your boat is, how much maintenance it requires, and so on.

Well regarding comfort and size I'm not too picky. I went from hiking to bike travelling and now this is my next plan, I think I can get along with a relatively small boat. I'd like to travel long distances (e.g. the whole world) so it should still be able to do cross an ocean from time to time.
Also I'd like to travel alone with the option of taking someone else with me from time to time so it would need to easy enough to handle for one person alone.

Hopping from port to port is less my intention than to ge to places away from civilisationsand spending time there.

I'm from Germany so I guess there will be more licenses needed for me as always but I was thinking about learning basic sailing in the next few years.

What kind of boat types might be sufficient in that case for my plans? Is there a type that can be handled by one or two people that can travel longer distances if needed?

I understand.

I'm a multihull kinda guy, but with that said I'll share some of my experience/information with you. Take it with a pinch of salt, these are my opinions and experiences, and the "facts" that I've been able to source from various online forums, fellow boat owners and crewmen.

It doesn't really matter how big the boat is, if it's set up correctly then it can be single-handed. Conversely, a 30-footer can be impossible to single-hand if the right equipment isn't on board.
I'm talking about stuff like bow thrusters, self-tacking jibs, self-tailing winches, autopilots, halyards and reef lines being lead into the cockpit and so on.
So the trick is to find a boat within your price-range that has all of these things, or can be equipped with all of these things after you purchase it.

With that said I will give you a few pointers to boats that continuously pop up in these discussions, and I'll tell you my personal opinion of them.

For starters I'd want a boat above 30 feet for crossing oceans and living aboard. Not only will it be faster and more comfortable, but safer as well.
I know there are several Island Packet boats that are held in high regard among "live-aboarders", both solo and couples.
From what I can gather (I have no personal experience with these as they don't appeal to me), they are well-built boats with great sea-keeping abilities.

I genuinely and legitimately don't understand a thing you say or what the joke is (if there is one) behind the way you post.
