    That's ok. No worries about the english. It's not bad at all! I don't sail around the world (hell, I haven't...yet.) but the probability is pretty low as long as you stay away from Indonesia, certain parts of Africa and some other parts of Asia. Pretty near nil probability if you stay in/near (within 12 miles or even less) European nations, US, Canada, you know, big industrialized nations.

    As Mackid068 says, the risk is small and I also think that we should separate between 'dangerous' pirate attacks and what more can be seen as 'OK, I'm losing some money, it was scary and I will remember it a long time'.

    The 'dangerous type'; The risk of this is very very small indeed! Unless it is parts of South America's coast line or Africa and a few more places. If you meet violence with violence in a situation like that, then you are really in the ****! Outside areas like that... 0.00000001% if you cruise a life time

    The 'Pirate for need' type is also unlikely but if you sail 6 months in Indonesian waters, then you will get hit. The risk of you or your family to get hurt.... 0.001% if you treat the situation correctly and of course a much much higher risk if you meet violence with violence
