World Sail

Hi ive been around on the water since I can remember and currently sail a 25'. I would love to sail around the world in a home made boat. Does anyone have an idea of how big a boat should be to complete my dream safely? Does anyone have a model that would work best? It is just myself and girlfriend.

The next question you need to answer is
"Do I still want to be with my girlfiend at the end of the trip"
No - then well "blue water" designed boats over 25ft will do
Yes - then nothing under 60 ft with a big engine should be considered

Its a lot cheaper and safer to fly than do it in *any* boat!

I am not having a go at the fairer sex here. The boat size thing applies to any mix of genders. Murders have been committed over farting in confined spaces or less. Read a few "true adventure" stories to get the picture.
