I'm gonna built a ply on frame sailboat, even though it'd probably be cheaper and easier to just get a secondhand fiberglass one off craigslist. I have no regrets.

I live on the sea, but I have no sailing experience whatsoever and have not been on a sailboat.

Buy or build a dinghy, watch a couple youtube videos and go to it. That's how everybody starts unless they're rich enough to join a yacht club or lucky enough to have a relative into sailing.

If you live on the ocean, Check out people looking for crew for races or daysails. Sometimes old guys who have been sailing a long time are no longer confident enough to singlehand and just need a line money. They can teach you a lot.

>How long would it take until you would be comfortable to sail a small vessel long distances
That's up to you my dude. Also long distances is subjective. 2 years ago, long distances meant going 30NM to Catalina. Now if a passage is a couple hundred miles I consider it short.

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars, men
If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye

That's pretty cool. What route did you take, and what did you do to choose your route/timing?

I'm preparing for a pacific crossing in 2025 but everything is still in the very preliminary stages for me
