The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup 120: Setting Sail: Preparation Tips for a Global Voyage – Nick & Terysa
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
- How did Nick and Terysa meet? What brought them together.
- Who was the sailor, Nick or Terysa? And how did the one convince the other that sailing around the world would be a great idea?
- If someone was interested in getting into sailing, what would they need to do?
- If you’ve never sailed, Nick and Terysa explain what they believe is best for you.
- Plus, if you’ve never sailed, how big of a boat would you buy? Is the old analogy, 'go big or go home' appropriate?
- Can you just buy a new boat and start sailing? Or should you start slow and ease into it? How about classes?
- Nick and Terysa talk about their 6-month adventure from the UK to the Canary Islands. Things that went wrong, and things that were perfect.
- They also discuss other sailors who were also en route to the Canary Islands and how they did things totally differently.
- We discuss their first boat purchase, how long they had it and why it was time to upgrade. Similarly, having their 2nd boat for 6 years, and why they chose to sell and buy a brand new Catamaran.
- The benefits of a Catamaran opposed to other types of boats.
- The 3 most important items to look for when searching out and buying a new boat.
- What 4 obstacles must be addressed in order to move forward with buying a new boat.
- What life looked like through this Coronavirus pandemic and how 2021 will fare for sailors around the globe.
- We talk about their new Catamaran that they will take possession of by the end of 2021 and what’s in store for her.
