Can you sail a boat though?

>>38625724
No, this would not be for sailing. It's just a cheap shelter that seems way better than a tent. That's the idea. Either keep it on the trailer on land or docked if you had the cash for a small monthly fee.

Would it be a small fee, though? I've seen a few vids about this, some people claim to not pay anything, but I find that highly suspicious, so I'm erring on the side of caution.

I just looked, there's a marina near me that has rates posted online. For full-time, long-term stuff, you'd pay $7.75 / ft. per month plus $100 / month.

So a 20-footer would cost you $255 a month. And you get access to power and water if you want to pay extra.

Rents around here start at around $700, so it seems like a really cheap deal.

OP this thread is cool and I hope you generate more interest in it

The real question is whether you can get a good Internet connection hooked up on it.

Thank you, I like doing this type of investigation. But I do see a few threads here about people being in trouble and I'm kind of surprised there's not more interest.

As for me, some days are better than others, I don't mind saying and it gives me some comfort to at least know a little bit or have thought about other escape plans or ways of living should things go sideways.

Well, at the marina's website, it looks like they do have WiFi, bathrooms, showers, a restaurant, and other amenities. It almost looks similar to a truck stop in a sense, outfitted for travelers. I doubt it's all for free or included in the docking price, but it exists.

So, no other comments?

Nothing more expensive than a free boat

Listen, I have no fucking idea about boating or the like, but it's been my dream to sail across the pacific, ya know come in all majestic into port and shit, I just have no clue about the logistics of any of it. I'm ready to give up everything to do this, but is it a pipe dream? Could I go get a fucking boat and just sail, or would I inevitably die in a huge storm or some shit

There was one guy last year who posted about living on a boat. Said it was cheap but you'll need to do maintenance periodically even if you aren't going anywhere. Saved the pic.

I have that dream too. There are teens who sailed around the world. I think with a few years of experience you can do this. Just drift from island to island. Of course you would need income/savings to sustain it.

If you want to learn all about seamanship this is considered the sailor's bible: https://www.amazon.com/Chapman-Piloting-Seamanship-67th/dp/1588169618.

No real experience either, I inherited a boat 10 years ago or so, I've never used it myself but my uncle borrows it every summer, do maintenance and moves it out to the sea, hire a port space over the summer etc. Think he pays $2-500 a month for a fairly attractive area, 25x9ft, prices are going to vary greatly depending on location tho.

Maintenance hasn't been too hideous, seeing it's a smaller standard boat one can find all sorts of parts in the low price warehouses, the fuel tank connector failed so he ended up having to replace the whole tank, needed new battery and drain pump, assorted lamps, typical engine maintenance stuff like oil and spark plugs, hull paint. I guess one eliminates a lot of this if it's just to sit in a dock at all times. Getting it liveable, maybe get some batteries, solar panels, a transformer, moving it etc is probably going to bring some initial costs.

Here we have "skippers exams", one takes classes and tests to get a certificate, just like a drivers license.

This guy's pretty famous here, he's been sailing all over in assorted tiny homebuilt sailboats, here's his latest construction.

Ideally there would be no one around in a 100 mile radius
