Is there a yacht which can be sailed by one person?
I don’t care how much money it is, but i just need to escape in a few years. I am taking my sailing licence, and my dad is teaching me how to sail yachts. Hes not here at the moment so i can’t ask him this question.
Is there a medium sized yacht i could sail on my own, just around Europe?
Most small cruising yachts can be single handed, the only problem will be if you wish to sail continuously for more than a day when you will need auto pilot and if near any shipping lane a lot of luck not to get run down by a cargo ship.
Just think of the people who have sailed single handed around the world!!

There are a lot of yachts that can be sailed single handed….i went on my RYA yachting course and on our way out of Cowes there was a yacht coming out of harbour ahead of us…..felt kinda sorry for the guy mind his foresail and main sheet got tangled…it wasnt anything special….no inboard engine but a small outboard engine on the back….when you got sails who needs an big engine…and when we were going through another part of the moorings there was a few moored up there….so they arent rare…i couldnt tell u cost or anything sorry but i told u a story….i wouldnt call it medium sized though….more like a big small one
