Roughly how long would it take to cross the pacific? Going from Los Angeles, Polynesia, Cook Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, Coffs Harbour, Sydney. Could it be done in three months, with enough time to enjoy along the way?
jealous much.

the coconut run is fantastic. its surprising how many little islands there are. look into it, and theres some great books about it too.
SURE you close I guess " 3 months + 90 days " is just average you need.
Anyway
I like Coconut Run

what to enjoy ALL of "along the way" ? I would budget for a few extra days!
7000 nm 7kn av (better than most ) 1000 hrs / 24hrs= heaps of extra fun days ![]()
don't forget to take a book![]()
Looking at possibilities with yachts on offer in Yachtworld on the west coast USA. More boat for $$ over there.. However I would imagine the GFC impacts on these yacht owners caused a lot of these yachts to have regular maintenance missing for sometime. Most I have seen would need an overhaul before leaving. Thanks for the imformative posts.![]()
In UK you find good boats,my caravan was shipped from UK and converted and still was half price. I believe would be THE same with boats. Yeppoon yacht charter shipped the yacht from USA,and got lost or stolen on the way here but was insured and all was sorted. There are always ways.
Maybe the yanks/canadians are seeing the same market oppurtunity to offload their asset as well as the added bonus of sailing through the pacific islands.
I want to do it sooooo bad ! It's on my bucket list - if I can't afford a bigger boat when I retire I reckon I'll take my trusty Westwind - she'll handle it !!
