Hey everyone, new to the forum here and looking for a bit of help. I'm looking to learn how to sail had little time on a sailing boat and just know It's something I must take up. I'm looking for something that would berth 4 people comfortably and 6 If I needed to. I want to know about annual costs, such as winter storage, anti fouling and if It's needed every year or every two and a swinging mooring.
When learning in my own boat do I hire a skipper to teach me and what's the hourly cost? I'm looking for about a 24/30ftr from around 15-£25,000 and what would the insurance be and the cost to get a survey done on one that size?
I've always loved watching boats sail and have drove a few mobos and but It's sailing that captured my heart, now I have the money I want to take it serious and just dive right in. I really don't want to start small with say Mirrors and so on, this boat would be like a getaway home for me and my other half and It's either a boat or caravan (psst, I dont want a caravan ). The big plan is to learn how to sail and do coastal cruising after a few years, If anyone can help me It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
