Is it even possible to do something not regarded as sensible sensibly??
How would spend £200K and £1400 per month to buy a bluewater yacht to liveaboard and sail / maybe circumnavigate for years to come?

Dunno about that, I’ve bought some books and now paying for a YouTube premium subscription to rid myself of the ads; costing me a fortune!If I had my health, I'd chuck every penny ive got at another boat...but dreaming is free

Here’s another one for you then if you haven’t found them already. Relative novices, heavyish displacement boat (and not too many videos to catch up on), search Calidris Crew

Don't rush. We were a full ten years between deciding to do it, and actually sailing away.Well, I still know I’m going to want a heavier displaced boat and that I’ll love long term cruising, but I also watched some YouTube vids confirming all this as well, so maybe I’m gtg after all. Either way, it is going to happen even if it all just becomes nothing more than an exercise in proving the dream-killer @potentillaCO32 wrong
Daftness aside, the entire learning process is fun, or least it is for me
Mostly because we had a mortgage to pay off!

That’s pretty much where I’m at regarding my timeline and how best to achieve it all financially, just without spending too much time doing so. But I’m itching to get some commitments out of the way to get the basic courses done and ultimately get sailing.
As appealing as it may be to see how one might expedite the process, the hard facts of the benefits some years spent in preparation (sailing/saving/finance/etc) can’t really be argued with. But that’s led to THE PLAN.
